Self-produced and self-distributed (Street Smart) debut album by the Memphis teenage rapper Tommy Wright III, who collaborates with several local MCs, including Mac T-Dog, Shawty Pimp, Princess Loko, MC Spade and King Goldie. The young cat delivers rough and violent themes typical of the Memphis scene with a dynamic and competent style, sometimes ultra-fast, producing a series of lo-fi rhythms that approach the trap sound, thanks to a frenetic snare drum that often prevails over dark samples. In general, the cassette doesn't have particularly memorable songs, but it's certainly different and, if we want, innovative for the genre: produced by an artist who was rediscovered by fans at the end of the two thousand and ten years, the tape consists of about an hour of listen, and it's a must for trap lovers. 7/10.
