The Oakland rapper ALLBLACK has been making fired-up, energetic bangers for years, and he’s actually good at it. ALLBLACK additionally has nice tastes in collaborators, and you’ll hear all of his items at work on his new album Born To Score. The new file follows 2021’s TY4FWM, and it really works as a sort of underground rap summit assembly.
Where TY4FWM had appearances from large stars like G-Eazy and E-40, Born To Score offers us ALLBLACK working in his personal nook of the rap underground. It’s a brief album — 11 tracks in half an hour — and it doesn’t have any gradual or introspective tracks. Instead, ALLBLACK goes in over jumpy, jerky beats from producers like DTB and P-Lo, and he shares tracks with BFB Da Packman, Curren$y, Cash Kidd, Dusty Locaine, Jay Worthy, and BabyTron. (BabyTron’s received his personal challenge out at this time, too.) Stream Born To Score beneath.
Born To Score is out now on Play Runners Association/EMPIRE.
