“I don’t look at numbers , streams , views . I just score .”
East Oakland rapper ALLBLACK is back with Born to Score, 11 tracks of slap. From the night cruise gangsta funk of “Literally” to the moody noir on “Pelicans” to the triumphant chill out track “End Zone,” it’s easy flowing, DGAF bars backed by fat, addicting beats—all wrapped up in football references. Released by EMPIRE, the new album has far less features than ALLBLACK’s 2021 full-length TY4FWM, but it has a few great ones: Cash Kidd, Curren$y, Bfb Da Packman, BabyTron, Jay Worthy, and DUSTY LOCANE. The best hip hop from the Bay this week.
