No Hooks

No Hooks

With a few well-turned phrases, Lud Foe provides a cinematic picture of trapping in Chicago. On “Direct Messages” off his breakout 2016 mixtape, he raps “Them hollows hit yo chest/Leave it sticky like a piece of gum” and a whole grim but vivid vision of drugs, homicide, and money comes into focus. Each track rolls steadily over low-end heavy production, and there are, indeed, no hooks—but this dark street saga doesn’t need them.
