A few years ago, Q Da Fool did big numbers with eye-opening singles like “Catch Up” and “Guns n Bells”, signifying his emergence as a trap star on the rise. Now Roc Nation’s DMV VIP, the rapper maintains his dynamic presence on this uncompromising and stark project overflowing with violent rhetoric and big money brags. Baleful cuts like “Nothing to Brag About” and “Reckless” dutifully deliver the thrills and chills you expect from something called Dope on a Spoon. On “Real Rich”, he lets the Dracos and Glocks do the talking as guest Peewee Longway, by contrast, weaponises his awe-inspiring lyrical intricacy. Q even manages to take the drip ballad “Diamonds” to dark places, while Mulatto adds her own indomitable energy to the duet “Gotta Go Get It”.
