Dat Trap Lyfe is all Maxo knows, save for the effects of Hurricane Harvey and his inevitable oh so many hoes. And with his name in a news clip to prove it, his criminality is the real deal -- so with the understated beats and smooth deadpan flow to slash celebration, he's got some stories to tell and an upbringing to hash over, complete with the sketch of a sketchy family tree. Mama an ex-booster who's forever working doubles and facing eviction, Pop an ex-prisoner who's flooded out and stuck on the roof, admired Uncle Main a fatal stabber who smokes crack on occasion. Otherwise it's lots of the ol serving outta vacancies, hatin' on snitches, plain intimidation, narcotics+cash as semi-lamentable relief. Which, when paired with precision and mood and a handful of genius offhand hooks, is fine too, sure.
