Trap Wiz kicks off the festivities with a banger in "Aw Shit", which is the melodic and hard-hitting all at once, and heads right into his take on Schoolboy Q's "Man of the Year" (referred to as "Maan" here) where he mostly croons about rolling up some more tree, riding that stand-out Nez & Rio beat well. OK, right off the bat it's a DJ Drama tape so we have more tags than KimYe's closet, but that's ok if the music is dope, and it is. The alter-ego "Trap Wiz" is a reflection on the recent trend of "Trap" style music that has ruled the internet, blending rolling snares, blaring synth and triumphant horns with a heavy dose of Actavis-soaked AutoTune, that is a departure from your typical Wiz release.įirst of all, I need way more weed to give this the proper listen, be right back. So, I'm going into this listening with cautiously high hopes, trying to remember it's also sort of a concept project. This variance in opinion is common for Young Khalifa, as Wiz has been riding the same strange roller coaster as Weezy the last few years, delivering excellent mixtape projects like Taylor Allderdice and Cabin Fever 2 while disappointing most with his retail offerings (though to be fair, ONIFC was tremendous compared to Rolling Papers). Like any Wiz project, there will be a wide variety of opinions on 28 Grams, ranging from exuberant praise to vitriolic disdain. Not even El Paso, TX PD could keep this heat from the streets as Trap Wiz delivers a sticky, icky 28 gram pile of audio dope.
