Toosii’s “Platinum Hearts 2” is just a solid emotional trap album.

TOP 5 SONGS

5. Please Don’t Go (Ft. NBA YoungBoy)

“Please Don’t Go” might not be my absolute favorite, but it does have NBA YoungBoy. Sometimes, that’s enough to influence the rankings.

The instrumentation has this springy, beachy hip-hop feel that caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting two dudes raised near the trap to sound so comfortable somewhere that practically requires sunscreen.

YoungBoy sets things off with a cold approach that gives way to genuine passion. Toosii follows with an airy, relaxed performance that pushes him outside his usual lane. Add vulnerable lyrics from both and a solid chorus, and you have a track whose atmosphere really stands out.

4. First Night

The Toosii/Hunxho combo works really well. “First Night” features hard-hitting R&B production with a midnight feel that suits both of their styles.

They come through with extra-slick, playa deliveries, calling out their chicks for being more wishy-washy than the Portland Trail Blazers’ owner. The song is short, but the melodies, unapologetic lyrics, and production all get the job done.

3. Highway Love

Toosii doubles down on being a sad n***a throughout this album, but “Highway Love” is different. The production is still moody and has a nice knock, but he attacks it with more aggression and grit in his melodic delivery. He also brags unapologetically, threatens his opps, and reminds his chick she’s f**king with a real one.

I like how Toosii treats the beat like it did something personal to him, landing body blows while keeping the melodies intact. I f**k with this approach.

2. Nights Prayed

How many hip-hop songs can you genuinely call heartwarming? “Nights Prayed” is heartwarming, bro. The gentle, feel-good production has enough bass to make your speakers knock while you shed tears. Over it, Toosii delivers this passionate, almost rejoicing performance as he reflects on the nights he prayed to make it and the grinding it took to get here. I love the chorus, and he’s talking some real s**t throughout. Knowing his story makes it hit even harder. He really hustled his ass off for this.

1. Boot Up

Gunna’s sound is damn near impossible to duplicate, but Toosii gets into a similar bag on “Boot Up” and handles it well. The beat brings that moody, action-movie energy, giving him room to skate with a slippery flow and an unbothered tone. He raps about putting in work, getting money, and the cars he’s driving, sounding comfortable through every flex. This is some sly-ass s**t, and I think it suits him.

RGM RATING

Toosii doubles down on emotional production and vulnerability on Platinum Heart 2. If you came here looking for somebody to tell you that relationships are easy and everything will be okay, you might want to keep scrolling. This man has feelings to get off his chest, and he brought enough bass to make sure the neighbors hear them, too.

The production leans heavily into that Rod Wave-like territory: moody melodies, edgy textures, and trap drums that keep the music knocking even when the lyrics sound ready to ruin your afternoon. Toosii knows how to work these backdrops. His melodic delivery carries genuine passion, and the choruses give you something catchy to hold onto while he sorts through the pain.

What keeps me interested is hearing the different emotions underneath that familiar approach. There’s heartbreak and distrust, but also gratitude, ambition, and satisfaction with how far he’s come. Those reflections on praying for better days and working his ass off make the vulnerability feel earned. When he gets more aggressive or slides into a slicker, more unbothered pocket, I appreciate the change. He sounds capable of doing more than sitting in his sadness.

That’s also where my main criticism comes in. This formula gets worked heavily throughout the project. I’m not complaining about the quality as much as the lack of variety. A lot of these songs are enjoyable, but hearing them together can make the emotional weight feel repetitive. I wanted a few more moments that challenged my expectations of him.

All in all, Platinum Heart 2 is a solid listen with heartfelt writing, strong melodies, and production that hits. Toosii delivers what he does well; I just wish he gave himself more room to discover something new.
