Back At It: Boosie Badazz and Webbie Keep It Between Themselves

  Review Back At It: Boosie Badazz and Webbie Keep It Between Themselves Twenty-two years after Gangsta Musik, Boosie and Webbie return with ten tracks and twenty-nine minutes — and only Boosie is still fighting for it. Stephen Agorsor 2.5 / 5 The last song on Back At It is called "Pull Up." So is the first. They are separate entries — separate catalogue numbers, same title, both 2:33 — so the record ends where it began. That is not architecture. It is a shrug: the only thing arranged with intent is a rhyme between its two ends. Everything between them has to stand on its own. Most of it does not. Start with the arithmetic, because it is doing work. Ten songs, 29:01, no features billed on any of them, longest track under four minutes. It is the first album credited to just the two of them since Gangsta Musik in 2004; the Trill Fam compilations of 2007, 2010 and 2016 were the label's records, with the label's name on the spine. It arrives not on Trill Entertainment b...

Heavy Is The Crown

  Anderson .Paak & Cordae Heavy Is The Crown October 23, 2026 · 11 tracks · 32 min Eleven songs, 31:58 by the runtimes, a joint credit on all of them, one single five weeks early, and four label names on one ℗ line. Eleven songs, and the same artist line on every one of them: "Anderson .Paak & Cordae." Not a guest verse — the pair is credited jointly on the album and on all eleven tracks. That is the premise of Heavy Is The Crown , and it is checkable without hearing a note. The arithmetic Add Apple's millisecond runtimes and you get 1,917,836 ms — 31 minutes 58 seconds. Apple's own page prints "11 songs, 31 minutes", because it floors rather than rounds. I'm going with the sum. Five of the eleven tracks get past three minutes; five sit under two fifty-five, and "58th Floor" lands exactly on 2:55. Median 2:55, average 2:54. The longest is "I'm On" at 3:53, and it arrives third, before the record has settled. The shortest i...

Luh Leakyz Vol. 1

  Yeat & Lyfestyle Corporation Luh Leakyz Vol. 1 October 23, 2026 · 14 tracks · 40 min Fourteen tracks, 40:01, every one credited to Yeat & Lyfestyle Corporation — Apple calls it a compilation of loosies, and the title promises a volume two nobody has explained. Luh Leakyz Vol. 1 came out yesterday, 23 October 2026, and the first thing its own page tells you is arithmetic. Fourteen tracks. Apple's runtimes, added up, come to 2,401 seconds — 40 minutes and one second. Apple prints "40 minutes" and rounds the second away. That is the duration as the source states it — and almost everything else here is a claim someone else is making. Forty minutes, cut almost exactly in half The first seven tracks run 19 minutes 30 seconds. The last seven run 20 minutes 31. Whatever else this is, it is assembled to sit level on both sides of a forty-minute bar, and never lets a song run long enough to break that balance. The spread is narrow: "Liv Dis Lyfe" at 2:17 is the...
