After 2022’s bookend projects FACE and MOB brought him to greater national prominence beyond his Detroit base, he switches from cold climes to extreme heat with the timely seasonal arrival of Summer’s Mine. The confidence behind such an album title comes backed by his years of experience on the mixtape front, building locally with the likes of Icewear Vezzo and Veeze, and bolstered by the success of recent singles like “Ron Artest” with 42 Dugg and “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy” with Lil Durk. That extends to righteously boastful moments here like “Donda Bag” (“My name good, my face clean, my pockets full, my people straight”) and “All Star Team” (“I'm an all-star team, far from a rookie”). His choice of collaborators reflects his elevated status, tapping in with Vory for “Dancing With the Devil, Pt. 2” and Westside Gunn for “Fly Gods”. Yet many of his production choices, and the inclusion of guests like Los and Nutty and the aforementioned Veeze, stay rooted in the Motor City that made him.
