Both tracks feature gloriously gritty hooks accompanied by deepened Gibbs vocals, with “Narcos” including the rapper’s explanation for how his flow seems so effortless: “Dope game hard/ Rap game, rap game easy than a motherf-–.” The album’s fire is fueled by these prolific hooks, and an aura of chill-inducing greatness arises as Gibbs chants his M.O. The album’s first two tracks, “Rearview” and “Narcos,” have Gibbs staying true to the badass persona he’s built for himself.

Dre’s iconic “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” in 1992. That second man?
