Distractions
Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2021
Trapboy Freddy albums have come early and often over the years, including a bevy of collaborative projects such as 2020’s I’m My Brother’s Keeper with Yella Beezy, Trap & Yayo with Go Yayo, Black Migo with Lil Trigga, and CME or Nothing with Slezzy Bezzy. Of the aforementioned, however, only Beezy appears on Distractions, on the posse cut “Oakcliff” (also featuring Hotboy Star, Smurf Franklin, and Young Nino). Save for a standout Young Thug appearance—on the eponymous “Freddy,” of all songs—the floor mostly belongs to the Trapboy himself, who takes time out to honor a fallen comrade on “Drizzy,” goes into detail about getting shot on “Hypocrite,” and then talks about his headline-making troubles with the law on “Lesson Learned.” “I don’t like talking murder when I rap ’cause they be already saying I did it,” he says. He uses “Shirt” to pour some sugar on another of the album’s heavier subjects, singing “Put him on a shirt” to the tune of the Seven Dwarfs’ “Whistle While You Work.” When paired with the song’s impassioned rapping, “Shirt” is as sobering as anything Freddy has released, and also wholly emblematic of the his tendency to paint circumstances that would terrify most with the kind of levity available only to those who have survived them.
