Mozzy and EST Gee’s NOT A CHANCE IN HELL feels earned. Their partnership stretches back to 2022, when they first linked on “Lurkin” from Mozzy’s Survivor's Guilt. As two of the preeminent voices of a shared era of street rap, their chemistry was immediate, leading to steady run of collaborations. NOT A CHANCE IN HELL, then, is two country cousins (from Sacramento, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, respectively), aligned through lived experience, their art unilaterally shaped by loss, consequence, and loyalty. The album is a full-bodied display of that synergy. “NOT ME,” bolstered by a hard-hitting flip of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” channels a raw and constant aggression, but the real glue is their gift for painting scenes of menace in grave detail. EST Gee closes “TURNT” with a particularly arresting a cappella lyrical display, while Mozzy wrestles with the reality of continually losing loved ones on “STILL AIN’T PUT MY PISTOL DOWN.” Indeed, realism and mayhem move in tandem across NOT A CHANCE IN HELL, Mozzy and Gee’s verses delivered with the kind of conviction that comes near exclusively from beating street life’s endlessly improbable odds.
