12.5.2018
Critical Praise:
“There seems to be no slowing Loso down” – Complex
“Loso Loaded is ready to be the next successful rapper to come out of the ATL.” – XXL
“I’ve been paying attention to the Atlanta upstart. And he’s actually nice, and raw. Loso has a mix of melodious hooks and gritty flows, which are both enchanting and entertaining.” – VIBE
The Video:
Well-versed in all trap vocal styles, ATL’s Loso Loaded has a superhuman talent for inhabiting a beat. Decrying those who would dare kill his vibe, Loso preaches positivity in “Bad Energy,” premiered by HipHopDX. Adopting a double-time flow atop a low-key instrumental, accented by minor key midi guitar and skittering hi-hats, Loso and featured artist Don Q express their hatred for freeloaders–men and women who want the benefits of rap stardom but refuse to put in the work. In the video, Loso and Don Q cook in a colorful kitchen, adorned with eye-catching street art, as the two rappers and their accomplices chill with models and play cards. “Bad Energy” is the latest video from Bases Loaded Fully, Loso’s latest mixtape, following the slice-of-life and XXL-premiered video for “Stayed Down.”
“I’m just letting go of all the negative energy,” says Loso Loaded. “Trying to get nothing but positive vibes. Don’t kill my vibe, watch me thrive.”
Riding high off a recent shoutout from Lil Yachty on the track “We Outta Here,” where the red-braided rapper says “I’m Loaded like Loso, I’m boomin like Metro,” Loso shares Bases Loaded Fully, his latest mixtape. Bursting with immersive, headphone-ready instrumentals from the likes of Dun Deal, Samba Beatz, Mister Neek, and more, every track on Bases Fully Loaded expands the sonic palette of trap music in its own unique way, from the swirling arpeggios of “Dead Wrong,” to the burbling, echoing keyboard droplets of “Chasin,” to the major-key woodwinds and candied synths of “Whatever She Said.” Living up to the challenge posed by the unconventional instrumentals, Loso showcases his versatility and adaptability, veering from clipped cadences and dense rhymes to lilting melodies and energetic ad-libs, often switching his vocal style multiple times in a single song. Featuring appearances from Don Q, Devon Tracy, RoscoP, VVsnce, RealRecognizeRio and more, Bases Loaded Fully arrives via Bases Loaded Records.
An affiliate of 21 Savage’s Slaughter Gang, Loso Loaded has shown a chameleonic ability to collaborate with a wide variety of heavy hitters, connecting with Lil Yachty for the lyrical showcase “Loso Boat” (with over 6 million views on YouTube), menacing with 21 on the local hit “Extortion” (1.7 million views), and most notably co-starring with SahBabii on the Platinum-certified hit “Pull Up Wit Ah Stick” (over 100 million plays on all platforms). Last year, Loso Loaded shared Creating Memories, a versatile EP with appearances from Lil Baby and Zoey Dollaz. Earlier in 2018, Loso shared “Pull Up,” a collaboration with ATL superproducer Metro Boomin, which racked up over 1.7 million streams on SoundCloud alone.
