Album Review: DeUce Double – Trap Ninja: The Art of Pimping Life


    DeUce Double - Trap Ninja The Art of Pimping Life-2

    DeUce Double scales the heights of both rap and funk and helps build powerful bridges between the two. His new album, Trap Ninja: The Art of Pimping Life, finds the artist proudly kicking open doors and announcing his plans for world domination with jester-like sneers and grins. He combines his raw rap energy with his  half-singing abilities, and then adds some underground and experimental touches just to show he can do almost anything.

    It’s a smooth and brazen move, as he includes guest artists alongside himself, but here on this album, visceral rhymes about gangster and pimping grandiosity often focus on the spoils of such a lifestyle and a greater emphasis on expected cases of crazy-sexy-cool beating extra-anxious.

    DeUce Double is gloriously stuck on street rap, having found a simple yet seemingly secret formula that no other hip-hopper has been able to steal, at least not for more than a single or two. He is the driver of this show, but he isn’t afraid to step aside and let a guest steal the spotlight every once in a while. On “Dope (Drug Anthem)” he doesn’t mind sinking into his throne while burping out a bottomless supply of coke and cash metaphors. It’s clearly designed to garner your attention, and as long as you don’t analyse it too deeply, it should succeed.

    Morale is high, and he sounds as though his having a ton of fun. With his raw skill and versatility on tracks such as “Gif Dead” and “Inertia,” the sheer enthusiasm allows DeUce Double to accomplish what he’s set out to do. Trap Ninja: The Art of Pimping Life is a well-produced and dynamic  album with solid rapping and satisfying guest appearances. The pieces tie together, and at the end of the day, there’s no denying that this a fun and entertaining album for any hip hop fan.
