Review
Gotta tell you, Sexyy Red's "In Sexyy We Trust" mixtape is a head-turner, packed to the brim with her signature razzle-dazzle of graphic sex jokes, puns, and quotable lyrics. Like a sequel to her breakout EP "Hood Hottest Princess," it keeps the same electric vibe and side-splitting humor that first set her apart. It's the kind of vibrant work that you'd want blasting through your speakers on a steamy summer day.
This album is a goldmine of potential summer anthems. Tracks like "She's Back" and "Get It Sexyy" are rowdy, fun, and effortlessly homage Southern and Midwest rap without clinging too tightly to nostalgia. Sexyy Red's flow is next-level infectious, and her graphic descriptions are both uproarious and empowering. While some guest appearances are hit-or-miss—the duet with Drake on "U My Everything" feels more awkward prom date than musical magic—the collab with VonOff1700 on "Sexyy Love Money" is like finding an extra fry at the bottom of your bag, pure joy. Some tracks, like "Outside," may lean hard on shock value, but the overall mixtape smacks of Sexyy Red's unfiltered, carefree essence. Through each explicit beat and bold lyric, she's shouting from the rooftops that stardom won't tame her wild spirit. "In Sexyy We Trust" is an unabashedly fun ride that confirms Sexyy Red as a burgeoning powerhouse in the hip-hop galaxy. - Beth
