Kicking off with a co-sign from his father -- who just happens to be
Jay-Z
's old bodyguard --
Casey Veggies
' 2015 effort
Live & Grow
is chock-full of charm and hooks. "Backflip" and "Tied Up" are ridiculously catchy, while "Actin' Up" offers a great example of
Veggies
' sense of humor as it saddles up next to a woman in the club just because she's "Twenty years old, got no babies." Quirky and off-putting punch lines like that are scattered throughout the album, and with an appearance from
Tyler, The Creator
on the highlight "RIP," there are slight reminders that the quite flashy
was also a founding member of the
Odd Future
crew. Beats from
DJ Mustard
and
THC
bring back the radio-friendly flavors that better suit his 2015 style, so take that album title to heart and check his early mixtapes for something more raw and raucous. ~ David Jeffries
