Project Baby 2: All Grown Up (Deluxe)

On this sequel to his 2013 mixtape, *Project Baby*, Kodak Black’s doom-ridden rap style is as grimly compelling as ever. Rhyming over a mournful, jazzy trumpet that could\'ve been snatched straight from the ‘20s, the Florida MC references the real-life threat of a jail sentence on “Roll in Peace,” while “Don’t Wanna Breathe” finds him contemplating suicide after a bad breakup. His gruffly melodic voice remains a disarming weapon, too, as evidenced by his poignant, bluesy croon on “Need a Break.”
