“This should be played at high volume,” is the introduction to the fifth project from Rucci this year.
The Inglewood artist continues the high-energy run collaborating with producer Killa Cam for “Underdawgz”. The subtitled “westcoast masterpiece” falls just under sixteen minutes with features from KingxRikox, Bla$ta, and Bossmann.
The project starts with the call and response “Whats my mf name” refreshing the West Coast sounds of ‘93. The 90’s sound continues in “I Can’t” referencing Brandy’s “I Wanna Be Down” yet making it West Coast with support from Richmond’s Bla$ta.
The project ends with a tribute track to Kee Riche$, “I wish”. Bossmann joins Rucci in reminiscing the times they shared with Riche$. Rucci closes with, “That I can be just like you do it for my hood just like you.” Long live Kee Riche$.
