TOP 5 SONGS
5. Shake Dat Ass (Twerk Song) (Ft. GloRilla)
This has to be the most ratchet track I’ve heard this year.
In “Shake Dat Ass (Twerk Song),” BossMan Dlow raps about falling for a girl with a natural ass who can make it clap like a round of applause. Naturally, he’s down to trick on her, which he does. GloRilla, known for her natural ass, spends most of her verse recounting her experience with a dude who has a baby mama but knows how to put it down.
Stylistically, BossMan delivers his verse with a borderline demented tone, while Glo brings a slightly aggressive delivery (I think that’s just her resting voice). The beat is packed with ass-clapping sounds and riveting vibes. Yeah, it’s the ratchetest s**t I’ve ever heard.
This is one of the few tracks on this album that sounds unique.
4. Dlow Curry
What does he mean by touching dogshit?
In all seriousness, this is an excellent intro. The track sets the tone for the album perfectly, as BossMan Dlow confidently talks his s**t over a funky Southern trap beat that would sound incredible blasting from a hooptie. What stands out most is how effortlessly BossMan flows, delivering bars that tell us why mere mortals like us can’t keep up with his ability to switch cars, stack money, and thrive in the streets. I dig it.
3. What You Need (Ft. NoCap)
No Cap’s verse on this track >.
Songs like this convince me that BossMan Dlow is more versatile than I give him credit for. In “What You Need,” a track that’s powered by this slick beat that gives me vintage Master P vibes, he hits us with a punchline-heavy, extra sly performance that matches the backdrop excellently. He also hits us with perhaps the catchiest hook on this project. That said, this song’s highlight is NoCap’s verse. Though I wish it had better audio quality and less singing, I love the flows he hits us with, his sneaky killer lyrics, and the clever punchlines.
2. The Biggest Pt. 2
How could we combine “The Biggest Pt. 2” with “The Largest” by BigXthaPlug?
95% of the time, I don’t hear the direct Florida influence in BossMan Dlow’s music, but in “The Biggest Pt. 2,” that s**t definitely comes through. The production on this track is something I can imagine every hot artist from Florida, including Kodak Black, absolutely killing. BossMan does a solid job of keeping up with the feverish tempo it offers, spending most of his verse talking about his thick pockets and how no one can keep up with him when it comes to flossing. If the audio quality was a bit better, this might’ve been my favorite track from the project.
1. PJ (Ft. Lil Baby)
Lil Baby’s verse on this track >.
In “PJ,” BossMan Dlow primarily raps about his major come-up, telling listeners how he went from eating trash-ass meals to living a life of luxury 24/7. As for Lil Baby, his verse exudes the aura of a straight pimp, surrounded by money and bad b*tches.
While BossMan starts this track off sounding like the second coming of Usher before transitioning into his distinctive choppy flow, Lil Baby stays too relaxed throughout. Despite that, I do like the combination of their styles.

So, y’all like music that sounds the same? Got it.
I’d describe the music on this album as an acquired taste. Throughout Dlow Curry, BossMan Dlow’s rapping style is pretty unorthodox, with an almost comical tone paired with surprisingly smooth flows. Lyrically, he doesn’t stray too far from what you’d expect on the radio today—talking about making money, smashing chicks, and resorting to violence when necessary. That being said, if you’re into trunk-rattling, borderline stinky-sounding beats, slightly catchy choruses, hearing “come here baby” at least 1000 times, and getting a glimpse of how a trapper-turned-rapper is living these days, this project might be right up your alley.
