Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne’s chemistry is still on point in “Sli’merre 2.”

5. 10 Pc Teriyaki
I knew my fat-ass would like “10 Pc Teriyaki.”
Y’all might hate me for this, but I hear a lot of Sexyy Red in Young Nudy on this track—especially in the chorus. The difference, though, is Nudy’s lyrics are way more toxic, as he’s all about embracing the dangers that come with living the trap life. What compliments him is the fun, hopscotch-ass, synth-heavy beat, which I f**k with.
4. Save Myself (Ft. BabyDrill)
This might be the first BabyDrill track I am willing to vouch for.
I had to do a double-take while listening to this track because there were moments when Young Nudy sounded exactly like Gucci Mane. Not only does his voice resemble Gucci’s, but he also spits about being ready for street warfare in a way that feels straight out of Zone 6. As for BabyDrill, I love how he glides over the beat with this effortless tone, giving us a play-by-play of all the grim things he’s willing to do for respect and sex. Overall, this track feels like one the streets of Atlanta will definitely vibe with.
3. Hakuna Matata
How can you not enjoy a track called “Hakuna Matata?”
Music is all about making you feel good, right? For me, “Hakuna Matata” nails that vibe. While Nudy still touches on hanging with robbers and letting his gun blam every now and then, the main message is to live without a care. Although I’m not sold on how dull he sounds in his verses, the chorus (which is also fairly mellow) more than makes up for it, as it has an insanely catchy sound that pairs perfectly with the feel-good, energetic production.
2. Get Fu*cked Up
I wouldn’t mind getting f**ked up after watching my Wizards get blown out again.
In “Get Fu*cked Up,” Young Nudy comes across as an unapologetic junkie, rapping about getting f**ked up off weed and alcohol. He also mentions partying hard while celebrating his success and good company. What I love about the track is that Nudy has fun with it, delivering a bouncy style on the chorus and a completely chill vibe on the verses. Pi’erre Bourne also does his thing, hooking the protagonist up with a beat featuring irresistible synths and more bounce than Cam Whitmore.
1. Bloody
Why does “Bloody” have such a carefree vibe?
A song called “Bloody” is supposed to be dark and eerie, right? Nope! Instead, the track takes on a surprisingly playful vibe, with Pi’erre Bourne’s production feeling like something you’d hopscotch to. Nudy brings an incredibly catchy, melodic rap style in both his verses and chorus, which is bound to resonate with young jits. Luckily, his lyrics are demonic, as he raps about hanging with robbers, killers, and cold-blooded playboys.

OVERALL RATING
(C) (76%)
The most unorthodox rapper of all time has done it again!
Production:
My favorite part of this album is the production. Pi’erre Bourne infused every beat with high energy and plenty of bounce, layering in trippy, trap, and rave-like elements throughout. With Nudy sounding almost half-asleep on each track, the contrast between his laid-back vibe and Bourne’s lively production creates a unique dynamic.
Guest Appearances:
I’m really into the trend of rappers handling full albums solo, and Young Nudy does that here. Sli’merre 2 features just one guest, BabyDrill. Luckily, Nudy has more than enough charisma to hold down the fort, thanks to his rebellious lyrics and one-of-a-kind style.
The Performances:
In a rap scene where everyone’s accused of sounding the same, I can genuinely say I’ve never heard anyone quite like Young Nudy in the history of hip-hop. On Sli’mere 2, he keeps showcasing his unique style, effortlessly flipping between lethargic and excited moments. He also delivers insanely catchy choruses, all while making it sound like he’s not even trying.
What Would I Change About This Album?
My biggest issue with this album has to be the lyrics. While Nudy has a unique style, there’s nothing particularly innovative about what he’s saying. He repeats the same themes—smashing chicks, shooting people, and spending money—over and over, and it often feels like glorified freestyles. Given the strong rapport between Pi’erre and Nudy, I feel like it would’ve been cool to hear something more conceptual or at least more variety in the subject matter.
The Biggest Reason You Should Listen To This Album:
It’s a straight-up vibe. Every beat hits, Nudy knows how to get a chill party going no matter what, and the album flows effortlessly. It’s definitely a solid listen from start to finish.
