Critical Praise For Yella Beezy:
“How Yella Beezy Scored a Number One Hit During the Summer of Drake” – Rolling Stone
“Yella makes rap that falls into the ever so-popular “melodic” description, but his flows and downright ability to spit set him apart from everyone else” – XXL
“Beezy brings the heat…In an era when hip hop artists are releasing albums where every song sounds pretty much the same, Yella Beezy has delivered a record that goes against the grain on his latest project, Baccend Beezy. The Southern rapper sticks to his roots as listeners can pick up influences from the region, but Beezy has a little bit of something for everyone on his latest mixtape. ” – HotNewHipHop
“He uses simple lyrics intelligently, with an infectious flow that would sound equally appropriate in a noisy nightclub or coming from a cell phone outside West End Station during rush hour.” – Dallas Observer
Critical Praise For Trapboy Freddy:
“TrapBoy Freddy slyly raps about how far he’s come…proving how deep the roster in Texas is at the moment.” – Pitchfork
“Hailing from Oak Cliff, one of South Dallas’s most recognizable hotbeds of rap talent… [Trapboy Freddy] possesses the type of sleek lyricism and formidable realness that feels primed to explode with a well-timed release.” – DJ Booth
“The trap star hailing from Dallas, Texas—Oak Cliff to be exact—has been going up recently off the strength of anthems like ‘Lit’ and ‘Lil Quita’…”’ – XXL
