The Nine vicious album has been awaited, and I’ve personally been ready to dissect it for a while now. This album is called b4em, meaning before emotion, which is his most-awaited album to date. The album’s main artwork is a homage to Playboy Carti, with the cover art resembling his sign for his label. Also, he has paid homage to a lot of other rappers, such as Kanye, Tupac, etc.
The first song on the album raging love is a masterpiece, with a wonderful beat by Ahmad. With his flow developing while he masters his beat selections, all his music is getting greater and greater. The sound of this song is very happy with jolly lyrics, such as its a “it’s a beautiful day”. The second part of the beat has a Rihanna snippet.
To transition into the next song, the beat switches to the Rihanna beat, and it’s ethereal. The next song pays homage to Rihanna with the song name being riri. The beat samples a Rihanna song. This song sounds like a party flooding your ears and making you want to jump and dance in a mosh pit. You can hear the development in his music since his early days till now, even since his last album. Uzoma Uzoma stated when asked, ” This album was very well produced and thought about. I’m excited for emotion”.
The last song from this album that will be covered is more painting. This song starts with no transition and starts with a loud beat. It feels like you’re getting crashed into by waves. The song starts out with raw screaming and adlibs more focused to the mosh pit chaos theme. In the first lines, he’s talking about this girl for the first verse, he’s talking about her lifestyle with metaphors to the life he’s living after stardom, and he’s relating it to her physic. He’s screaming his raw emotions outwaying the beat, then in a flash, the beat switches to a calm, more soothing beat, and the screaming stops. He says, “This sounds so fun,” relating to the beat. He starts talking about the labels that are backing him, relating it back to his gang in a sense.
