The answer is simply that Ferrari Boyz couldn’t have been released at a worse time. Why didn’t it receive the attention that it should’ve? Fans of Southern rap should’ve been thrilled that this album was happening, yet there was next to no pre-release hype for these rap titans even despite Ferrari Boyz poised to be one of the biggest hip-hop releases of the year. This album is an assembling of some of the best talent in the Atlanta area, and they should be regarded as such. After all, it’s the first one where all of the members of Bricksquad Monopoly (and 1017) are on display it’s the first release from Gucci Mane since he left prison, and it marks the end of a feud between the two major members- Gucci and Waka Flocka Flame- that began after Gucci fired Waka’s manager. Featuring hype standouts like the creepy synth-led ‘Remix Rerock’ and the blasted ‘n blunted ‘Damn’ this certainly bodes well for the rest of 2013’s Brick Squad schedule.Review Summary: Gucci and Flocka make the album that you expected them to makeįerrari Boyz should have been considered a special album and had the hype train that would usually accompany such a release. It’s no secret that rap’s most eccentric Georgian Gucci Mane has rediscovered his mojo recently, and his return to form continues on this second collaboration with fellow ATLien Young Scooter, who himself just dropped the underrated gem Street Lottery.Īnyone who swiped the ridiculously sick 2012 highlight I’m Up shouldn’t be surprised to hear that there’s a similar nudge towards the slower, darker side of the spectrum rather than a pandering towards the rapid-fire drill that the rest of the country is fetishizing and it’s a good look for Gucci and Scooter, with both rappers sounding like they actually give a damn. Waka Flocka Flame‘s home team might be rattling them out right now (with his own DuFlocka Rant 2 and Yung Thug’s 1017 Thug dropping in the last few weeks alone) but almost unbelievably, the quality has been unshaken by the increase in pace. Brick Squad mainstays Gucci Mane and Young Scooter return with the Free Bricks 2 mixtape, and in brighter news – it’s actually great.
