Buddy Madeoff and Akeem Ali turn sly production, savage bedroom talk, and contrasting deliveries into an infectious showcase of playa swagger.
You probably won’t find many artists cooler than Buddy Madeoff and Akeem Ali. Both can rap their asses off, but their personalities are usually what get you fully invested. They link up on “Members Only,” the first of four singles in Buddy’s solo rollout.
The production grabs your attention immediately. It’s on some sly, playa s**t, with just enough knock to keep your head moving. Both rappers deliver bold verses about their encounters with women badder than the Arizona Cardinals, and the bars get more savage as the track progresses. Akeem sounds completely unbothered, adding a splash of soul, while Buddy brings a colder tone and a more dynamic flow.
“Members Only” delivers the vibes, diabolical words, and infectiousness I wanted. These dudes sound entirely too comfortable talking like this.
