The fifth release by Memphis-based rapper Yo Gotti is sharper and packs more punch than the artist's previous albums. BACK 2 DA BASICS still traffics in Dirty South hardcore, with plenty of narratives about drugs, sex, thug life, and hustling on the street delivered with Yo Gotti's intense, menacing style. Yet the whole comes across with more confidence, while guest appearances from the likes of Bun B., Lil Wayne, and high-profile producer Scott Storch keep things interesting. Fans of Dirty South-style thuggery will definitely want to check this one out.
