NWA: N***a With Ambition

A stark but impressive introduction to SG Tip, a member of 21 Savage’s Slaughter Gang, NWA is a collection of brief, blunt, impeccably produced trap numbers, the majority of which come courtesy of Pi’erre Bourne. Tip’s cold-blooded lyrics and choppy, controlled flow shine on dark, dynamic cuts like “Backstreet” and “Mister,” while on “Days of the Week,” featuring PDE Escobar, he manages to turn a calendar into a threat by building tension throughout the days of the week.
