Bossman Dlow knows there’s no time to rest if you want to be South Florida’s finest, so the upstart MC from Port Salerno doubled down on his breakthrough 2023 effort, 2 Slippery, by returning three months later with Mr Beat the Road. On the project, Dlow sounds hungrier than ever, weaving tales of street dreams, tragedies, and triumphs with that inimitable Southern drawl. With guest features from Rob49, Sexyy Red, and Wizz Havinn, Dlow firmly establishes himself as part of a new vanguard of young spitters. On the Rob-assisted “Lil Bastard,” Dlow taps into the flows of Dirty South legends like Boosie and Webbie, spitting with an intoxicating blend of precision and ambivalence. He sings of determination and grit, the effort it took to get off the Florida streets and into the studio. He raps, “Bitch, I had to skip the line, gеt me in the door/It's crazy I got it out the mud, now look, it's on thе floor.”
