STREAM
TOP 5
5. MORE BLOOD
EST Gee feels like a remorseful dude with a t-shirt soaked in blood on this track.
Enjoyable truth: Considered one of my favourite EST Gee tracks is “BLOOD.” Initially, I believed “MORE BLOOD” was an element 2 to “BLOOD,” however I don’t suppose it’s. The latter is a part-time emotional, part-time grungy banger that has Geeski switching between a sappy singer and a ruthless rapper. Whereas I don’t love the rap verses he hits us with, I can’t get sufficient of the hook he delivers.
4. TURN THE STREETS UP
“I consider in dope sellers, not the tooth fairy” – EST Gee.
“Flip The Streets Up” is difficult as hell. Within the track, EST Gee promotes violence, drug dealing, and overflexing. The grungy demeanor and regular flows that he raps with completely mix with the scary-ass entice beat (One thing about these synths within the beat makes me consider that Michael Myers is on the stoplight across the nook). I additionally suppose the hook EST hits us with is catchy as f**okay.
3. BAD GUY
It’s humorous how EST Gee feels like an emotional man in “BAD GUY.”
Can’t dangerous guys have feelings too? In “BAD GUY,” EST showcases his most dramatic vocals to steer the world that nobody else is as sinister as him. What additionally stands out is his charming melodies and random reggae-infused inflections.
2. ANOTHER MOMENT WITH GOTTI (Ft. Yo Gotti)
Gotti gained MVP of this album.
Gotti’s in two songs on this album: “A MOMENT WITH GOTTI” and “ANOTHER MOMENT WITH GOTTI.” In each items, he places up 60 factors. The rationale I selected to speak in regards to the latter is due to this: I like the soulful, booming beat that powers the track, how EST Gee talks his s**t on the subject of making main boss strikes, and the way Yo Gotti, contemporary out of a six-month retirement, faculties people on how he turned a boss and wealthy. Total, the cocky classes that Gee and Gotti dish out will ring a bell with you.
1. I THINK (Ft. Lil Child)
I’ll renew my Lil Child subscription if he continues to rap how he does on this track.
Lil Child places up 55 factors and 0 turnovers in “I THINK.” Within the track, which is powered by this emotional entice beat, Child passionately raps about staying away from medication, eager to run up on people, and coping with leeches. I like the urgency he exhibits all through his verse. As for EST Gee, I do rock with the grungy power he raps with and his weak lyrics. I additionally suppose his mumbly hook is surprisingly gratifying.

RGM RATING
(C)
I’ll be the primary to inform you that EST Gee’s music hasn’t clicked with me. He has an acquired style type that I don’t suppose is for everybody. With that being mentioned, EL TORO 2 does have some highlights that everybody can get pleasure from.
In relation to manufacturing, this album deserves a chef’s kiss. All through EL TORO 2, EST Gee does work over every little thing from soulful to nostalgic to club-ready entice beats. Whereas I don’t want the sluggish rapping type that Gee makes use of over them, I do admire how the beats get to play entrance and middle. Rappers ought to do this extra; enable their beats to play entrance and middle (BTW, I f**king love the “IT IS” beat, however I hate what Rylo and EST did over it).
EST Gee could be the grittiest mainstream rapper within the recreation right this moment. In EL TORO 2, his demeanor on tracks makes it seem to be he’s too gangsta to be making music; his content material tackles road s**t in one of many rawest methods attainable, and when he decides to sing slightly, it’s often on some “I really feel remorseful for killing you” kind s**t. I’m certain people within the bando can relate to his type, however common joes with 9-5 jobs and Costco accounts will battle to.
A number of the visitor appearances on this album moved the needle (notably Lil Child and Yo Gotti), and a few sounded awkward (notably Static Main and 42 Dugg). On the finish of the day, I’m simply glad they had been there to counterbalance EST Gee’s sluggish verses.
I believe it is a strong album. I didn’t want 20 tracks from EST Gee, however it flows so properly you possibly can stay with that. I consider at some point EST’s music will absolutely click on with me. Till then, I’m going to maintain discovering methods to get pleasure from it.
