TOP 5 SONGS
Honorable Mention. Risk Taker (Ft. Offset)
Women love a good risk-taker.
Offset and Blxst sound like two completely different artists. Offset raps with fast flows and s**t, while Blxst usually delivers infectious melodies. In “Risk Taker,” they come together to create a hella smooth R&B-hop anthem. The track features serene vocals from Blxst, an island beat that will make you do a two-step, impactful melodic raps from Offset, and lyrics that revolve around the importance of being a Lakers GM to a chick (aka someone who takes risks). I like what I heard.
5. Dance With The Devil
I saw Beezlebub doing the griddy the other day.
In “Dance With The Devil,” Anderson .Paak and Blxst explore how their girls transform into something devilishly captivating on the dance floor. What’s intriguing is that this simultaneously turns them on and scares them. Despite the fiery topic, the track exudes smooth vibes, featuring silky vocals from Blxst and easygoing, old-school R&B production. Anderson does hit us with a punchy rap verse towards the end, though.
4. How Many
I’m cool with Blxst taking a break from crooning and dropping some ignorant s**t.
All the Cali heads who love that part in Not Like Us” where Kendrick Lamar sounds extra LA will vibe with “How Many.” For starters, the track features one of those Cali-inspired club beats with literal pows (the kind Tyga and YG love). As for Blxst, he pays homage to LA by confirming his moves are inspired by the West Coast city, using LA-inspired flows here and there. He also brags about his ability to pull bad chicks and stack cash. Overall, you’ll appreciate how punchy this track sounds, complemented by the smooth hook Blxst delivers.
3. Want You To Know
Does it make you women aroused when we men admit to our faults?
In 2024, men are embracing authenticity in their relationships, and Blxst exemplifies this in “Want You To Know.” Throughout the track, he speaks directly to his partner, expressing his commitment to personal growth, his love for her, and his desire to strengthen their connection. The song features a gentle beat with a smooth tempo, beautiful vibes, nurturing vocals, and a sample that adds a pleasing touch.
2. Private Show
The last time I paid for a private show, I lost 50 dollars in two minutes (Those strippers are ruthless).
Slow jams are a lost art, but “Private Show” brings them back beautifully. Driven by a silky smooth R&B beat, Blxst sings about wanting a romantic experience with someone likely paid handsomely to provide it. The track’s sultry and seductive vibe is captivating. The best part, however, is the second phase. The tempo picks up, we get a brighter vocal performance, and we get more unapologetic lyrics. It’s crazy how quickly we men get bold after knowing we secured some vajayjay.
1. Rewind (Ft. Feid & Becky G)
This track is special.
Unfortunately, Blxst doesn’t speak Spanish in this track; however, everything else he does is flames. In “Rewind,” the “Chosen” singer relies on these passionate vocals and incredibly intoxicating melodies to express the amazing feeling of forgetting life’s hardships and getting lost in your partner’s love. As for Feid and Becky G, they provide the Spanish version of everything Blxst does, instilling a very authentic Latin vibe. All in all, this track is infectious and has a summery vibe that people will love.

Blxst should be so much bigger.
I’m down to listen to explosive beats every once in a while, but on a daily basis, I gravitate towards smooth production that hopscotches between hip-hop and R&B. That said, I absolutely love how peaceful the production on this album sounds. While it has its emotional, touching elements, it also packs just enough punch to test your speakers’ manhood. All in all, the beats on this album provide a fantastic vibe.
The realest people I know are the calmest, which probably explains why Blxst is who he is. In I’ll Always Come Find You, he doesn’t waste his time on superficial things like stealing other men’s women or chasing after Hawk Tuah women. Instead, he focuses on the importance of building connections, strengthening relationships, paying homage to his loved ones, and uplifting women (with very little indulgence in ignorant stuff). This is what grown-up music sounds like.
If we’re going to criticize DaBaby for never switching his flow (which I always thought was odd), we have to be honest about Blxst: he does sound the same on every track on this album. But at the end of the day, his melodies are so infectious, and his vocals so soothing that I don’t even care. I also think he does just enough as a borderline rapper to keep the so-called hood folks satisfied.
I can’t believe this is Blxst’s debut album. He sounds polished, completely understands his sound, and speaks like a veteran in the game. Well, I’d call this a successful debut.
