Born to Score

Oakland-hailing MC ALLBLACK is done being humble. *Born to Score* is about as self-explanatory an album title as you can get, and though its premise is a far cry from the modesty of 2021’s *TY4FWM* (thank you for fucking with me), the MC’s hunger and effortless cool remain intact. *Born to Score* is a treasure trove of both sports analogies and Oakland-originating game-spitting, BLACK proving himself to be one of his region’s most under-heralded talents. Along for the ride are a small heap of ALLBLACK’s personal favorite MCs, names like Cash Kidd, Bfb Da Packman, BabyTron, Jay Worthy, DUSTY LOCANE, and the project’s lone OG, Curren$y, all of whom are also revered for putting points on the board.
