The Herbo feature is followed soon after by the slinking “MAD,” which features Young M.A and seems handmade for the New Yorker, down to its slightly lower BPM, and “Vibe With You,” with Ty Dolla $ign vocals silky enough to soften a YG verse that boils down, very literally, to “I fuck with you.” That trio of collaborations, plus the “Wanksta” flip and the irresistibly sinister “Bompton to Oak Park,” comprise the A-side and are diminished severely by what follows: a sullen cut plagued by a regrettable A Boogie hook Tyga on his bottle service autopilot and a posse cut where all five rappers operate on shootaround half-speed. And G Herbo’s inclusion on the subsequent song, “Dangerous,” is especially shrewd: The Chicago rapper works so well at faster tempos that his vocal alone seems to propel the record forward.ĭespite its brevity and that breathless opening run, the album is poorly paced. And so, when the album works-as on its far superior front half-it evokes the same feelings as a smart, seedy DJ set (its release is well-timed to nationwide strip club reopenings.) This is never truer than at the very beginning, when a quick four-count gives way to an audacious flip of “ Wanksta” and Mozzy interpolating 50 Cent’s flow.

Taut at its start and frustratingly indistinct near its middle, the album suggests an inspired combination, but it pays off only in intermittent bursts. There are times on *Kommunity Service-*which pairs the Compton-bred YG with Mozzy, the dizzyingly prolific rapper from Sacramento-that the duo sounds wonderfully intertwined: finishing one another’s thoughts on hooks, sharing space in verses, Mozzy’s voice coiled around YG’s doubled ad-libs.
