For his second album, Hoover crip as well as ex-con Maxo Kream got truly personal. It’s named after his father, as well as the album cover splits the two men’s faces like Two-Face from Batman.
The album is about family. Brothers, fathers, sons, gang brothers. Maxo tells of his own, as well as his father’s, criminal past, going with events with vivid imagery. like getting out of prison as well as seeing his household again.
But none of this feels like an excuse. “How can you blame a nigga,” he states on “Change,” however in no method does he seem to state his life of criminal offense was not his choice. He’s providing us context, not excuses.
This is an extraordinary album.
