Los Angeles, California emcee Hexxx making a comeback after 2 years with his 3rd EP. First emerging in the underground back in the fall of 2016 off his debut EP Samhain, he would go on to follow it up 3 years later with his 2nd EP West Coast Wicked Shit to his full-length debut studio album Demon Season & the sophomore effort Tales of a Cursed G becoming west coast wicked shit classics in their own rights. 22 months have passed & he’s putting out Suerte without any warning preluding his upcoming 3rd LP.
“High Noon” was a Memphis/trap intro with some lyrical content built upon the gangsta lifestyle Hexxx has made a name of himself off of whereas “Payback” works in a trap instrumental with a vocal sample to talk about the concept of revenge. “Drama Under Palm Trees” eerily keeps the trap vibes going always keeping a hammer by his side while “Street Lights” talks about what it was like for him growing up in the dark.
After an interlude from Zach Holmes from the Paramount Skydance Corporation subsidiary MTV-owned Jackass franchise, “Switchblade” pulls from the early 90s g-funk scene tryna get high & paid simultaneously while “Shoot2kill” talks about his state of mind being to hustle forever leavin’ opps flatlined. “Jin” officially concludes Suerte with 1 more trap joint assuring that he’ll crush your skull.
It’s been so long since Tales of a Cursed Gcame out & whatever the west coast wicked shit trailblazer has in store on his next full-length body of work, Suerte reaffirms he hasn’t lost a step after taking a year off to tour. It’s more trap-based in terms of production other than minor influences of g-funk & Memphis rap, but Hexxx is still very much embracing the gangsta rap themes only a tad bit heavier than he did on the last couple albums he put out in the earlier parts of the current decade.
Score: 8/10
