TOP 3 SONGS

3. Cum Over (Ft. Isaiah Falls)

Spelling “come” like “cum” is next-level diabolical behavior.

“Cum Over” is surprisingly a love song. This is coming from an artist with a rap sheet that feels straight out of The Joker’s handbook. The production leans heavily into R&B, paired with a smooth, seductive hook from Isaiah Falls.

Maxo Kream keeps his familiar robotic delivery, but instead of pure street talk, he shifts to ideas about settling down and changing his lifestyle. It’s a strong record for anyone who enjoys R&B/hip-hop fusions.

2. 6 Months Clean

One of the main reasons I love “6 Months Clean” is the production. JPEGMAFIA delivers an incredible beat that feels almost cinematic, like the moment in Terminator 2 when The Terminator slowly dissolves in acid (I heard that scene made mad people tear up?).

Maxo Kream’s content is just as powerful. He opens up about trauma and how it’s caused him to fluctuate between sobriety and drug use. It’s a deeply interesting track and a strong introduction to an album built on raw storytelling.

1. Fake Jeezy (Ft. JPEGMAFIA & Denzel Curry)

Could you imagine if this track had some Jeezy ad-libs? Jesus, that s**t would’ve made me crown it. The track features the kind of demented, mad scientist-style production that we heard a lot of on Thug Motivation 101: Let’s Get It. It’s the type of beat that made me want to say, “I used to hit the kitchen lights.”

Maxo Kream and Denzel Curry are completely on the same page lyrically. They talk about carrying weapons, running down opps, and knowing exactly how untouchable they are. Maxo sets the tone with his cold-ass bars, but I love how Denzel flips the beat upside down with his aggressive, punchy delivery. He honestly sounds like he’s circling the instrumental, shadow boxing right next to it.

RGM RATING

(B)

I want more JPEGMAFIA-produced albums. On O.Y.N, you get his full production palette on display: Heavy bass, controlled chaos, cinematic layers, and constant left turns. There really aren’t many projects that sound this bold, ambitious, and sonically unhinged in the best way.

Maxo Kream’s rap style has never fully been my favorite—his delivery often leans into that robotic, monotone cadence—but lyrically, he usually delivers. On this album, he really does. He leans into strong storytelling about his drug use, his come-up, and life deep in the streets, while still slipping in moments about plowing women and sliding on opps (lightwork for him). His verses stay engaging because the writing consistently pulls you in.

The features are placed perfectly. I don’t know who Isaiah Falls is, but his job was simple: bring a seductive hook, and he delivered. The posse cut “How I’m Coming” works because of the contrast between looser rapping and Maxo’s rigid delivery, while Denzel Curry completely takes over on “Fake Jeezy.” Even the sequencing is on point. The tracklist flows exactly how it should.

So why didn’t I give this album a perfect score? As I said, Maxo’s vocal style still isn’t something I fully connect with. But aside from that, this is an excellent project, with nearly everything else executed at a very high level.
