Young Nudy Does Him, Then Does Him Again

  Young Nudy Does Him, Then Does Him Again Just Doin Me runs 19 songs and 64 minutes, and three of them appear twice. That tells you most of what you need to know about the title. By Liner Notes / October 28, 2026 Artist Young Nudy Genre Hip-Hop/Rap Released October 28, 2026 Length 19 songs, 1 hour 4 minutes Label ℗ 2026 Young Nudy has been reliably, unmistakably himself for years, and Just Doin Me puts that in the title as if it were the whole plan. Fine. What the record actually delivers is 19 songs in 64 minutes, and three of those songs are ones you have already heard by track 16: "Who Dat Is," "Broke Bitch" and "Ya Dig" are listed again at the end, with durations that differ by a second or two from their first appearances. Not the same file, then, but the same song. The listing offers no explanation, and I am not going to invent one. What I can tell you is what it does. The album finishes by replaying its own middle, so the last ten minutes of a rec...

BigXthaPlug's BETTER OVER TIME Is a Homecoming That Counts Its Costs

  BigXthaPlug's BETTER OVER TIME Is a Homecoming That Counts Its Costs After a heartbroken detour, BigXthaPlug comes back to the Dallas drawl and soul loops that made him — then spends 42 minutes telling you what the win cost. By STEPHEN AGORSOR / November 1, 2026 Artist BigXthaPlug Genre Hip-Hop/Rap Released October 30, 2026 Length 18 songs, 42 minutes Label ℗ 2026 BigXthaPlug under exclusive license to UnitedMasters LLC The story you will hear about BETTER OVER TIME is that BigXthaPlug came home. His previous album, 2025's I Hope You're Happy , pushed the Dallas rapper into a heartbroken country-crooner mode and became his highest-charting record to that point. This one, his fourth, goes back to Southern rap fundamentals: the chopped-and-screwed drawl, the soul samples, the rhyme schemes that click shut like a car door. That framing is accurate and it undersells the album. A homecoming is a nostalgia move. BETTER OVER TIME is not nostalgic. It is a man standing in the hou...

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...
