This album is worth checking out. Willie delivers exactly what you'd expect-No holds barred and never scared to say what’s on his mind. It’s a clear improvement on his debut which drops off in the second half. It kicks off with the title track, which would’ve fit comfortably on that first album, with its energetic, busy production and constant shifts in the beat. 'Die' slows things down with drawn-out drums and subtle keys, giving space for Willie to unload on other producers while bigging up his own beatmaker. After Willie outlines his luck with the ladies on 'Clean Up', the album hits its strongest run. The hook on 'Trenchcoats-N-Ganksta Hats' really stands out, and 'Rodney K.' feels like straight-up N.W.A. energy. Willie makes it very clear he’s no fan of Rodney or the soft, non-confrontational approach he thinks blacks take toward racism. There’s so much passion here that he could be saying almost anything and the track would still hit hard. 'Go Back 2 School' brings the funk back and pushes the value of education, while 'U Still a aggiN' digs into ongoing racial inequality. As with his debut, the momentum tapers off a towards the final third, but the highs here are strong enough to make the whole project worthwhile.

This is an odd album. In a few tracks, especially early on, it genuinely sounds like Willie D had been listening to too much 2Pac before stepping into the booth. He drops Pac’s “adversaries” line more than once, uses that trademark Pac-style laugh and mid-verse talking voice, and even slips into a similar rhythmic cadence at times. It’s not the whole project, but those Pac-influenced moments really stand out, and it’s strange to hear from someone who usually has such a distinct vocal identity. 'Lil’ Killaz' also reminds me of someone else. There’s something about the way he raps on it that feels very Scarface. Most of the album sits in fairly average hip hop territory. It's all passable but there is nothing great. I do like the hook on 'Dear God', and the final two tracks, which lean more emotional and soulful, work better than most of what comes before. Not terrible, but it's his worst project. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Lil' Killaz, Dear God, U Special, Hearse Cadillac

After two albums this year built around a hard, bangin’ West Coast sound, this one feels noticeably softer, leaning more into trap and more modern themes. With three releases in such a short span, the strain is starting to show. This is all okay, but nothing here leaves a lasting impression. My enjoyment has dropped with each recent project but the gap from this to his last is wider. There’s also a stretch of four songs, from 'Smokin on the Best' to 'Superstition', that blur together with the same laid-back vibe and predictable female-sung hooks. And I’ve said it before, but he really needs to retire that grating scream he throws on every track. It’s gone from a signature to an annoyance. A low 3/5.

A decent film that leans on a fairly standard, predictable Aussie theme: the little guy taking on the giant, much like the classic The Castle. Here, two rival fish and chip shop owners team up to take down Burgies (essentially McDonald’s in disguise). The sacrificial ending adds a fresh touch and is genuinely appreciated. It’s an enjoyable, locally filmed watch, but not exactly essential viewing.

This album is roughly a quarter political/conscious hip hop, a quarter gangsta rap, and half straight-up sex rap. It opens on the political side, with Willie taking aim at everything from the education system and entertainment industry to government and the music business. Modern producers who rely on a two-second loop for four minutes could learn a thing or two from some of the beats here. Tracks like 'Willie Dee' constantly switch up and keep the momentum going. The project starts strong, but the second half loses some steam. The themes thin out, and while the production still carries that late-80s Southern grit and thick basslines, it doesn’t hit with the same spark as earlier. Overall, a solid debut that shows flashes of something great, even if it doesn’t sustain it all the way through.
