"The fourth-and first posthumous-installment in his Slo-Be Bryant series arrives bookended by messages from his family: an intro from his mother and outro from his children."
"During his brief career, Slo-Be had already come to represent a new strain of California rap-a mutation of what Drakeo the Ruler et al. had been growing down in Los Angeles, elaborate tapestries of slang and cryptic threats."
"What this creates, above all else, is urgency, the stylized asides and the autobiography dissolving into one another, the digital bounce of the beats pushing him to the point of near-collapse."
