As they neared their fortieth birthdays, Killer Mike (a black rapper from Atlanta with close links to OutKast) and El-P (a white Brooklyn b-boy and proponent of experimental rap) formed Run The Jewels, a rap supergroup which could easily have been yet another addition to a long list of hiphop misfires. But on the contrary, they are now an institution, a group that delights audiences and awakens consciences. Their new album RTJ4 is their most political and devastating. Let us take a look back at Killer Mike and El-P’s story. With the mixtapes Monster, Beast Mode and 56 Nights which were released only weeks apart between October 2014 and March 2015, Future took back the reigns of his career and marked a turning point for contemporary rap music. Let us look back on the chaotic rise of the most important and fascinating rapper of recent times. Motown in the North. And Stax in the South. Two quite distinct conceptions of soul music. In the southern humidity of Memphis, Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T and a few others invented a unique groove imbibed with blues and above all gospel. YFN Lucci's "Ray Ray From Summerhill" Review. The debut album from a southern songsmith and occasional hitmaker has audiences wondering if YFN Lucci will finally get his chance to blow up, or blow his shot. YFN Lucci has been one of the biggest stars that hasn’t managed to become a star yet. Many know him off radio hits such as “Every Day We Lit” or “Key to the Streets” where his melodic croon plays off the more well-renowned guests such as PnBRock or Migos in order to appeal to the unfamiliar. Even more have been following him since early breakout single “Wonder Why” and have watched with eager attention as over the last 2-3 years, Lucci has become one of the hottest acts out of Atlanta with a rabid cult following. His ability to balance himself as a and a lyricist has held a great deal of promise, which has only been bolstered by a solid mixtape run which has finally culminated in his debut album Ray Ray from Summerhill. With all this anticipation and build, has Lucci managed to deliver on all his promise and appraisal? One of Lucci’s strengths that isn't too familiar with listeners who recognize him off his radio singles is his deep committal to conveying emotional content and gravity on his songs. Not unlike the more mature moments of Future and former labelmate Rich Homie Quan, or even other non- Atlanta talents such as Kevin Gates and Boosie, a great majority of Lucci’s material isn’t to be judged simply by his bars or even how catchy his songs are, but how he managed to combine both pictures of romance, struggle, celebration with a clarity of vision that many would claim is lacking in the rap game currently. On the song “Time For It,” Lucci demonstrates this magnificently, as before the first-minute clocks in he’s already offering up sobering reflections such as: "I still can't believe my cousin died before the deal came That's why sometimes I just get high, ain't trying to feel pain See I could just sit here and lie but that would feel strange Just talk about things I don't have, and not the real thing." On “All I Know” Lucci turns self-scrutiny into warning shots, using that same attention to detail. "Every pistol loaded; my car fully loaded All these scars but every one was worth it; God done made me perfect I work hard, can't tell me I don't deserve it; I'mma break the surface Play with the gun and we gonna hand out hearses to every single person That's on my unborn. " Such vivid imagery and detail, married to the melodic sensibilities of Lucci make for a near-cinematic sense of what he tries to convey on record, making him all the more compelling as a figure. It's the depth of character he’d already demonstrated frequently on early mixtapes, taken to a whole new level. What makes Lucci even more impressive is a rather complementary and lush production style that never manages to stay in one convenient formula, avoiding any tendency to paint himself into a corner or fall into typical rapper cliches. Yes, album opener “Go Crazy” features evocative bluesy saxophone weaving beside 808s, but then you have “Down,” a modernized take on Kanye West’s beat for Cam’ron’s “Down & Out” where Lucci avoids straightforward emulation for his own spin on wordplay. And that’s skipping ahead over tracks like the lurching orchestral sounds of the Zaytoven-assisted street creeper “The King,” not to mention way before the soft vocoder splashes of the pensive “When I’m Gone” or the ethereal Miguel flip performed on “Come with Me.” It's an album that doesn’t feel any sort of self-conscious - with the likes of the aforementioned Zaytoven, Buddah Beatz and others helping to provide an expansive sound for Ray Ray From Summerhill , it seems natural for YFN Lucci to be able to deliver beyond the initial ambitions he could’ve ever promised fans. This isn’t to say the album isn’t without its flaws. Clocking in at 19 tracks (not to mention a surprise bonus track consisting of just YFN Kay from the YFNBC over a trad-hip-hop instrumental for unofficial closer “Stadiums”), the album isn’t without a bit of extra padding that could easily be cut down and done away with. With the exceptions of Dreezy, T.I. (markedly somber and mature for his showing on “Keep Your Head Up”) and YFN Trae Pound, most of the celebrity guest verses on the album tend to feel rather uninspired and detract from the songs rather than refresh the listener from so much time with Lucci. Furthermore, the various interludes are just the slightest bit of excess material that feels more or less like unfinished ideas rather than complimentary transitions between tracks. With such a diverse sounding album, jumping from production styles or different moods, there’s the occasional fatigue from having to rely on feeling so many different emotions so abruptly and so consistently. Such issues of bloat don’t hinder the album from being an excellent showcase of Lucci’s strengths as an artist, but if anything, it undermines with lesser offerings that wear down the listener. As far as debut albums go, Ray Ray From Summerhill appears to be a satisfying showcase to newer listeners and yet another enjoyable project for longtime fans of YFN Lucci. The record boasts an impressive and varied display of rap skills, songwriting, and creativity, looking to be an early contender for one of the strongest albums of 2018, and shows signs that if Lucci continues at his current pace, he will soon join the top ranks among the Atlanta rap game. Should any follow-up projects manage to both enhance his already impeccable strengths and perhaps avoid any of this records minor pitfalls, I don’t see how anyone can stop Lucci from cementing himself as a permanent fixture in the world of rap. YFN Lucci reveals more about ‘Ray Ray From Summerhill’ Recently, YFN Lucci brought Summerhill, Atlanta to the students at Georgia State University’s Creative Media Industries Building. Hosted by rolling out’s A.R. Shaw, the “Key to the Streets” rapper came to GSU decked out in diamonds for an exclusive listening session of his new album, Ray Ray From Summerhill. Before his arrival, students wrote down their questions to Lucci to be answered during the listening party. They wanted to know the rapper’s inspiration, how he reached success and a little bit more about Summerhill. YFN Lucci entered the session greeting everyone and asking if anybody was from Atlanta. Many students shouted where they were from and which zone they were representing. Before any of his new music was played, Lucci described Summerhill. “It ain’t no rich hood or nothing, everybody struggling,” he said. “[I] grew up having fun and doing kid things … doing grown folks things, but I made it out of that. I grew up with my momma, and we stayed in Summerhill all our life,” he adds. Lucci initially got inspiration to start rapping from his brother, Big Killa, known as YFNKay on Instagram. “I believe I was thirteen. My big brother used to always rap, and come up with his own songs. They were hard, and it made me want to rap. So one day I was freestyling, and [he] asked, ‘You want to be down?’ I said, ‘Hell yeah,'” he recalled. Lucci mentions how Johnny Cinco played a part in his career. He met him when he was about 16 or 17 years old through social media. Cinco enjoyed his raps, and the duo began collaborating. Lucci adds that it wasn’t until he was about 21 years old when he and Cinco started to go to big studios and record. When Cinco featured Lucci on both his mixtapes, John Popi and John Popi 2 , “everybody wanted to know who Lucci was,” he said. When it came to the success of “Key to the Streets,” Lucci described it as easy. He met at the studio and the first beat he played, everyone in the studio loved it. Quavo went into the booth and made the hook and when it was Lucci’s turn, the two knew for a fact they had a hit. The song went platinum, as Lucci expected. After questions were answered, the sounds of Ray Ray From Summerhill filled the room as students bobbed their heads to the various tracks. Ray Ray From Summerhill is set to be released March 9. Check out the cover art for Ray Ray From Summerhill and photos from the event below: YFN Lucci Ray Ray From Summerhill. R ay Ray From Summerhill is YFN Lucci’s second project named in tribute to a dead friend (following last year’s Long Live Nut ), and there’s no reason in particular to think that it will be his last. But who’s counting? Tragedy, to paraphrase Stalin, is a prime example of the “one, two, many” number system. Accordingly, Ray Ray is an album less about wallowing in grief than living with and beyond it, the integration of a gaping void into one’s ongoing existence. The tribute, then, is not explicit remembrance but the mere fact that the album was made at all. Even as tracks from Ray Ray rack up streams, however, Lucci’s not out of the woods. Emotionally, lines like “ Can’t believe my cousin died before the deal came ” are irreducible into individual vectors of good/bad/sad; for Lucci, loss is less a discrete occurrence than a permanent caveat to his own ever-growing success. This is exactly what makes lines like the above hit so hard; just like a memory, they dot the albums with little regard for the mood they might interrupt. “Down,” a remake of the all-time Cam’ron and Kanye collab “Down and Out,” is as joyous as expected until, suddenly: “I hate they shot my brother (down, down) / Lord knows that shit took the family (down, down) / Lord knows I gotta hold this shit (down, down) / Lord knows that’s what I’m thinkin’ bout / When I’m loadin’ every round” It’s completely at odds with the rest of the song, yet inevitable: for someone like Lucci, every reminiscence is in danger of trailing off suddenly. In terms of emotionally-laden content, I don’t mean to present Ray Ray as any sort of exception; whether or not its presentation makes for an eye- catching press release, the genre is rife with weighty subject matter. It’s not unique to Lucci, nor is it his commercial identity. He’s got considerable mainstream clout, in large part due to runaway hits “Heartless” (with Rick Ross) and “Key to the Streets” (with Migos and Trouble), both from Long Live Nut . He occupies a space in the mainstream somewhere between Meek Mill and Migos, doing more crooning than the former (“whoa whoa” and “yeah yeah” are signatures at this point) while lacking the three-headed bombast of the latter. As rap continues to get weirder, his isn’t a particularly crowded lane, and Lucci has ridden obvious radio appeal to massive underground popularity that is unfortunately ill-suited for crossing over into true superstardom. His style is decidedly within a long lineage of marginal trap radio stardom, not quite Paper Trail (T.I.) but born of the same major label impulses that brought it upon us. Akon and Young Jeezy’s classic “Soul Survivor” may have birthed the genre, and a little over a decade later, Lucci has fused the two performers into a single entity. Even as trap production is accused of growing staid, Lucci’s voice and his choice of beats stand out. Throughout the album, somewhat rote Atlantan rhythms are ornamented by a considerably widened palate of instrumentation beyond the usual piano and synth. The opening track features a saxophone, and it seems like every other track centers around a bluesy guitar figure of the sort that constituted some 90% of Big K.R.I.T.’s appeal (conversely, it’s incredible — and commendable — how immediately “Street Kings” is identifiable as the song with the Meek feature by beat alone). YFN Lucci, in all likelihood, has reached a commercial and critical peak. However, his creative trajectory has always and will continue to operate entirely independently of any sort of third-party validation, the connection between himself and his fans the only real plane on which his success can be measured. As far as I can tell, Ray Ray ’s made its biggest splash during 24-48 hours of inane litigation of Offset’s use of the noun “queer” in his feature on “Boss Life,” itself brought about only by Offset’s elevated profile as Cardi B’s fiancée and the middle member of Migos. Lucci’s music has nothing to offer that type of media environment — one focused on the translation of rap C U L T U R E into the terms of traditional celebrity — and so he will continue to persevere at the periphery, realizing, I hope, what his music means to those ears it manages to find.
