Review
"Take Care" by BigXthaPlug is droppin' straight fire, hitting hard with that authentic flavor only he can deliver. This album, released on October 11, 2024, marks BigXthaPlug's second studio endeavor, stepping up his game by infusing it with themes like "when it get better, it get worse." Bossing up with relatable mantras like "do what you gotta do" and hustling for "growth and success," he keeps it 100 about looking after his squad and his kids – no fluff, just the realness of life's grind.
Makin' waves with its musical vibe, "Take Care" rides the beat with lush soul samples, deep bass, and a killer mix of 80s R&B and gospel influences. BigXthaPlug has a squad of bomb producers like Tony Coles, DeShaun Williams, and Einer Bankz backing him, creating a sonic wonderland of cheery piano chords, electrifying guitar solos, and handclaps to keep your head bumpin'. Don't sleep on tracks like "Therapy Session," which got them joyful vibes, embodying the album's multifaceted style.
Packed with raw emotion, BigXthaPlug goes deep about his family and the motivation that drives the hustle. His undying commitment to his kids and the role of a father aren't just bars; it’s heart and soul poured into tracks like "Change Me" and "The Largest." This craft of storytelling layered with commitment not only hits different but elevates his status as a true Southern rap maestro. Plus, throwing in a guest feature from Wallo267 only amps the vibe, helping to send his newest drop to the next level. - Lilith
