TOP 5 SONGS

5. It Bitches

One thing that’s undeniable is that Sexyy Red knows how to make anthems, and “It Bitches” is another one for the collection. On the track, she talks heavy: getting money, looking badder than Kon Knuepple’s shooting percentage in Play-In games, and running her city.

My favorite part is easily the production. It’s hard-hitting, unapologetically trap, and carries an urgency that makes it feel built for loud speakers and reckless decisions. Sexyy leans into her most carefree rap style, sounding loose, confident, loud, and fully in control, while also giving us a chorus that is simple as hell, but somehow ridiculously catchy. This one is going to stick.

4. David Ruffin

Of course, one of my favorite songs on the project is “David Ruffin,” a name-drop I never expected to hear from Sexyy Red in this lifetime.

The chorus is the real prize here. I love how Sexyy rides the action-packed club beat with a level of cool detachment that would make Kawhi Leonard nod in approval. She brings that same energy to the verses, talking slick while calling her opps The Temptations as she casts herself in the David Ruffin role. Though I’m cool with the comparison, saying she’s Gladys Knight and them other whores are the Pips would’ve been funnier (BTW: Why would a bunch of grown men agree to be in a group called “The Pips?”).

3. Bitch I’m Awesome

Did this track lower my IQ a few points? Possibly. Did it still make my shoulders move? Absolutely.

Sexyy Red is not chasing lyrical miracles on “Bitch I’m Awesome.” The bars feel elementary, the grammar gets shaky, and the constant repetition of the title will either annoy the hell out of you or keep you locked in. Maybe both.

Still, the beat is hard as hell. It has that nasty trap knock that grabs your attention and refuses to let go. Sexyy’s dismissive energy works in her favor too, as she floats over the production with a bouncy flow that feels effortless. Oh, and those little Trey Songz-esque “yeps”? That s**t worked every other time she said it for me.

2. If You Want It

I really mess with “If You Want It.” It sounds like one of those records that would’ve smacked in the golden era of hip-hop. The chorus is the main reason, thanks to a vintage-style sample that’s insanely infectious. I also love how Sexyy Red sprinkles ad-libs all over it.

As for her verses, they’re even more ridiculous than usual (I almost cut the song off after she said “big d**k like ouch”), but that somehow adds to the charm. She attacks them with the confidence of someone who dropped 40 points on 10-for-45 shooting. Terrible efficiency, but still 40 f**king points.

1. Hood Bitch 2

I strongly believe “Hood Bitch 2” could’ve been on a drunker, nastier, and more ridiculous version of Jeezy’s Thug Motivation 101: Let’s Get It album.

The main reason I say that is because of the production. It carries that same menacing, boss-level trap energy Jeezy leaned on heavily throughout that classic project. As for Sexyy Red, I thought she was very solid here. She absolutely nailed the chorus, which is my favorite on the album, came across like an evil, reckless genius, and surfed the beat as well as I’ve ever heard her.

I wonder what “Hood Bitch 1” sounds like… Actually, is there even a “Hood Bitch 1?”

RGM RATING

(60%)

Let me get this out of the way immediately: do not expect to gain wisdom from listening to Sexyy Red rap. On Yo Favorite Trappa Favorite Rappa, she sticks to the same chaotic themes she’s always embraced: wild sex, clowning rivals, riding for questionable men, getting violent when needed, stacking money, and being proudly ratchet.

And no, the rap mechanics won’t wow many people either. Sexyy often sounds like she picked up rapping yesterday, delivering shaky flows and elementary-level bars throughout the project.

So why does the album still work at times? Authenticity. There’s zero pretending here. She sounds completely comfortable being exactly who she is, and that honesty carries weight. The production helps a ton, too. These beats are raw Southern trap through and through, packed with handclaps, booming drums, and grimy energy that feels connected to the era Gucci Mane once ruled. BTW, a bunch of impressive producers did work on this project, including Metro Boomin and Mike WiLL Made-It.

A lot of listeners won’t connect with this because they simply weren’t outside for that culture. But if you grew up around Southern clubs, reckless nights, and trap music shaking the walls, this album may hit differently. It’s like greasy late-night pizza loaded with too much meat: one slice is fire, two might ruin your night.
