Sada Baby (@SkubaBaby) - "Black Tape N.W.O." (Mixtape)
Sada Baby is a 32 year old rapper & singer from Detroit, Michigan becoming amongst Detroit trap’s biggest names in 2017 off his first couple mixtapes Skuba Sada & D.O.N. (Day One N***a). Fast forward to the beginning of 2019, he signs to Asylum Records for his 4th tape & major label debut Bartier Bounty to widespread praise. He has since put out 11 more mixtapes, with my favorites of the being being Skuba Sada 2 along with his final Asylum offering Bartier Bounty 2 & Bartier Bounty 3. A good potion of Sada’s output in recent memory since the evolution of the subgenre he helped popularize has left most divided & his 16th tape albeit Hitmaker Music Group debut had me hopeful that it would make up for some of the lackluster additions to his discography.
“nWo” named after the WWE Hall of Famers hops over a Detroit trap instrumental to talk about not having the opps in mind because he doesn’t have any whereas “Bloxkside” turns up the bass a bit flexing that he’s too real in the field to be faking shit. “Klip Hamilton” works in some bells so he can compare himself to Rip Hamilton with the stick until “Chuck Money” featuring Kamaiyah talks about knowing those who’ll die by the bankroll.
As for Konjunction Junction”, we have Sada over some pianos & hi-hats suggesting you better hit the road if you don’t pull up the show or studio if he invites you just before “Blood Kristie” refuses to fuck with the lame shit everyone else around him be celebrating. “Bitch” might have to be my least favorite track on the tape with the way he continuously repeats the word throughout leading into “Bloodmerikan Idol” keeping a gun on him since he won’t even budge to do shit the same way he did it.
“Kevin Nash” gives his flowers to the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, former 5-time WWE world champion, 11-time WWE tag team champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion & TNA World Tag Team Champion bringing a funereal Detroit trap vibe to the table instrumentally while “Speed Run” talks about your death winding up on Google. “Spint” produced by Helluva sticks out as a highlight heavily basing itself around the concept of “slimes” being fake pieces of shit while “Eastside Orkhestra” talks about smoking a pussy with his dog.
The song “Tokyo Drift” sets of the encore of Black Tape nWo showing some Mobb undertones meshing that with the Detroit trap style he’s become widely known for bucking anyone around him who be tryna act tough when they really ain’t & after “No Lies Told” swaps out the secondary Mobb influences in favor of cloud rap counting up $150k until his phone blows up, “Malcolm Mays” atmospherically finishes with a comparison to Lou-Lou from Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
Couldn’t tell you when or if Sada plans to make a full-length debut studio album when you look at his mixtape catalog extending with the course of time, but Black Tape nWo improves on the average feedback Bridge Kard Blessings got over 2 months ago & contains some of the better material I’ve heard from the Detroit trap sensation in quite a while. The 1 guest he got compared to the 3 on the predecessor was all he really needed & he sounds the hungriest he’s been since leaving Asylum. - via LegendsWillNeverDie
