Touch Down 2 Cause Hell

“Minor setback for a major comeback,” intones the Baton Rouge native at the outset of *Touch Down 2 Cause Hell*. After completing a prison stint for drug charges, the Southern rapper covers a lot of emotional ground, blasting warning shots on “Retaliation,” celebrating good times on “Drop Top Music” (featuring Rick Ross), and issuing mea culpas on “I’m Sorry.” Boosie is back.

The Baton Rouge-based rapper Boosie returns from a jail sentence he began in 2010 with a new deal with Atlantic and his sixth studio album. Touch Down 2 Cause Hell is unremittingly intense, proving Boosie isn't content to rest on his reputation as a modern-day southern rap legend.
