GloRilla keeps her momentum going with the 12-track mixtape “Ehhthang Ehhthang.”

TOP 5
5. All Dere (Ft. MoneyBagg Yo)
One of my favorite hip-hop duos right now has to be MoneyBagg Yo and GloRilla. They have an undeniable chemistry, and whenever they team up, they consistently deliver hits. I’m pleased to report that they continue their winning streak with their latest collaboration track, “All Dere.”
“All Dere” is undeniably a certified club banger. First and foremost, the track boasts an uptempo, dark trap beat that’s tailor-made to get asses clapping, drinks spilling, and broke individuals spending money they don’t have on strangers in the club. As for GloRilla and MoneyBagg Yo, they bring great energy to the track. GloRilla exudes a heightened sense of excitement as she encourages her trill Barbies to get down and dirty, while MoneyBagg Yo embodies the persona of a suave player ready to splurge his Vanguard accounts on a woman he just met by the club bathroom. Overall, “All Dere” is a track that will undoubtedly evoke nostalgia for former club-goers.
4. High AF
Do you know who’s also high as f**k right now? Anyone who thinks UConn will lose this weekend.
If GloRilla told me that “High AF” is the distant cousin of “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” I would believe her. Both songs have similar beats, similar easygoing rap styles, and similar choruses. The biggest difference between the two songs can be found in the content department. In “High AF,” GloRilla dedicates the whole song to her love for drugs, bringing up the experiences it brings when she’s smashing and clubbing.
I would probably do some weird s**t like rub my elbow grease on a chick’s head if I was high while doing the nasty.
3. Opp Shit
F**king with your opps is something Hailey Van Lith would do.
People in the trenches will probably upchuck while listening to “Opp Shit.” In the track, GloRilla talks about hesitantly falling in love with someone with whom her family has major beef with—some s**t that is the ultimate no-no in the hood. Since I’m not from the hood, I don’t care about the codes they care about, so I strictly enjoyed the song. That said, the first thing that will stand out to you is how the combination of GloRilla’s aggressive raps and the hard-ass beat make a concoction stronger than a four-horsemen drink. The second thing that will stand out (and what I think is the best thing about the song) is how GloRilla does some vivid storytelling, keeping you on the edge of your seat the whole time.
2. Wanna Be (Ft. Megan Thee Stallion)
I feel like Megan Thee Stallion has about seven songs that sound like this…
“Wanna Be” has everything you need in a club banger: A booming beat that samples another classic club banger with a booming beat and lyrical content that is anti-relationship and all about having fun. GloRilla kicks things off with a rugged verse that has her sounding like she walks around with a strap-on. Then, Megan Thee Stallion takes over, delivering a competitive verse that dismisses her competition and emphasizes her no-nonsense attitude towards men. I know the fellas will be annoyed by this song, but we just gotta eat that s**t (I do not mean literally).
1. Yeah Glo!
This is easily one of my favorite releases of the year.
In “Yeah Glo!,” GloRilla boldly proclaims her superiority over her haters and flaunts her luxurious lifestyle, complete with flashy cars and street credibility. Her verses are harder than convincing Darvin Ham to stick to a single starting lineup.
I f**k with “Yeah Glo!” for several reasons. Firstly, GloRilla delivers a catchy hook that sticks in your mind long after the song ends. Secondly, the beat is hard-hitting with booming bass, creating a powerful backdrop for GloRilla’s aggressive vocals. Overall, this song is perfect for pumping up your workout at the gym and has the potential to ignite the dance floor at clubs.

OVERALL RATING
(C) (74%)
How has GloRilla managed to be charming, extremely hood, and a very good rapper all at once?
So, what do I love about this album? How GloRilla’s personality is portrayed throughout it. In Ehhthang Ehhthang, the Memphis rapper is this unapologetic, carefree woman who loves having fun and shutting down her competition. Though our lives don’t align at all, her music reminds me not to take s**t so seriously in life.
Another thing I love about Ehhthang Ehhthang is how GloRilla does not half-step or pump-fake when she raps in the tracks; in every verse, she throws nothing but haymakers, meeting all the booming beats at the rim. Interestingly, she also doesn’t drop a single melody. Can you imagine if your favorite rapper adopted this approach when creating their music?
Another thing I love about this album is that we don’t get a bunch of random features on it; GloRilla only worked with the hardest in the trap world, and Megan Thee Stallion, who I think has a style that aligns with hers. Mind you, GloRilla recently met Joe Biden, so I am pretty sure she is a popular artist who can probably get anyone to feature on her projects now. Kudos to her for staying true to herself.
This album’s biggest flaw is that it doesn’t necessarily feature great music. Like, I wouldn’t recommend listening to it in any other setting than at a club, during a workout, or after a major argument you had with your partner. I just don’t believe GloRilla’s lyrics have enough depth, and the songs aren’t diverse enough to fully embrace. Just appreciate the pocket she’s in.
I love me some GloRilla. She communicates so well with the devil on my left shoulder.
