*Addiction Kills* finds Jelly Roll at his gritty, unsparing best, his tight rap flows invoking MCs like T.I. while his stirringly sung hooks nod straight to the blues. \"Hot Streak\" rides a beat that flirts with both EDM and Southern rock as Jelly Roll brags about moving from Tennessee to Calabasas, though \"Addiction Kills\" shows that he hasn\'t quite left trouble behind; over foreboding piano and echoing drums, he raps painful vignettes to the people that he\'s lost to drugs.
