TOP 5

5. Awesome Jawsome

Honestly, one of the only reasons this track made it onto this list is its title.

I probably wouldn’t show my grandparents any track from this project, but “Awesome Jawsome” would definitely be off-limits. Throughout the track, Sexyy Redd delivers some explicit content that I’d rather not elaborate on, but let’s just say there’s a lot of munching and vampire behavior involved. Despite that, I appreciate the track’s catchy chorus, and there’s a certain fearlessness in Sexyy’s unapologetic approach.

4. Ova Bad

I do believe “Ova Bad” can end up being one of the biggest anthems of the year.

Sexyy Red brings the heat in “Ova Bad.” Throughout the track, she asserts her dominance over her rivals and proudly claims her status as a trendsetter. She also embraces her bold lifestyle and thick ass. The standout element of the track is undoubtedly the Tay Keith production, which delivers some of the most dramatic trap vibes I’ve ever heard in my life. Sexyy’s aggressive delivery and punchy flow, particularly on the hook, add to the track’s raw energy and impact.

3. U My Everything (Ft. Drake)

Did Drake just spit bars over the “BBLDrizzy” beat?

Let’s address the elephant in the room: Sexyy Red sounds terrible in “U My Everything.” Her raps sound like they were written by a second-grader. However, despite this drawback, two elements of the track demand attention: the impeccably smooth production and Drake’s explosive verse. Regarding the latter, the 6God elevates the song to another level, showcasing his playa ways and delivering a flow akin to J. Cole’s. While there are no apparent disses directed at his rivals, Drake’s clever wordplay and seamless transition to the “BBLDrizzy” beat are moments deserving of applause.

2. Sport

Sexyy Red sounds excellent in “Sport.”

I’m being dead-ass serious: Sexyy Red shines in “Sport.” Set against what might be my preferred beat from this album, the St. Louis native unleashes her most impressive flow, exudes unwavering confidence in her delivery, and serves up punchlines that, while not groundbreaking, certainly mark a notable improvement. Additionally, her boasts and bravado showcase a level of complexity that adds depth to her usual repertoire of self-assuredness. It seems Sexyy is stepping up her game, and I’m here for it.

1. Get It Sexyy

“Get It Sexyy” is one of the hottest singles of the year (Notice how I didn’t say “one of the best singles of the year”).

“Get it Sexyy” is Sexyy Red’s theme song, providing an ideal introduction to her persona for those who may not be familiar. In her verses, she confidently celebrates her voluptuous figure, her ability to charm men, and her adventurous cruising around St. Louis in SKATs. While it may take some time to embrace Sexyy’s elementary flows and wild lyrics, after giving the song a chance to resonate, you’ll find yourself f**king with it.

RGM RATING

(D-) (60%)

In Sexyy We Trust delivers everything you’d anticipate from a Sexyy Red album.

So, here’s the thing: What Sexyy Red talks about in her music isn’t my cup of tea. And if it were in my tea, I would have to add some holy water to that s**t. However, if you are down to listen to a confident young black woman from St. Louis talk about her nice figure, great sex skills, love for getting f**ked up, and violent habits, this album would probably resonate with you mightily. As for the God-fearing individuals who abide by the law, there are other things to enjoy about this project. For starters, I think the production (Mainly by Tay Keith) is actually pretty excellent. A lot of beats will get you hyped up and ready to do some serious damage at the nearest club to you that sells Henny shots and Hookah. I also think the album has some pretty catchy hooks, funny-ass titles, and solid guest appearances (Lil Baby and Drake put up A+ performances in the songs they are featured on). All in all, I don’t think this is the best album since The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, but I also don’t think it’s an album you should completely ignore. Listen to it one time and wash the hell out of your ears when you take your next shower.
