42 Dugg Delivers 4Eva Us Neva Them
In May of 2022, 42 Dugg‘s career came to a halt as he was hit with an 18-month prison sentence stemming from his arrest in a federal gun probe in 2020. Now after being released from prison, 42 Dugg is now focused and determined as ever.
This week, the CMG artist finally released his debut solo album, 4eva Us, Neva Them. The 21-song collection boasts a star-studded list of guest features. Fellow rappers EST Gee, Sexyy Red, Lil Baby, Meek Mill, Rylo Rodriguez, Jeezy and Blac Youngsta and more all come through to deliver bars on the Detroit native’s project.
Dugg has already dropped two singles from the album. In May, Dugg delivered the anthemic track “Win Wit Us,” and last week he dropped his freaky song “N.P.O.” featuring Sexyy Red. The latter tune has an accompanying music video showing Dugg and Red frolicking in Miami with an assortment of jet skis, luxury cars and booty-shaking women. The visual can be viewed below.

HHG3: Art Peace
Former D12 member Bizarre has teamed up with fellow Detroit producer Foul Mouth to unleash their third installment in their HHG series titled HHG 3: Art Peace. Be forewarned, Bizarre is known for his ribald and offensive lyrics and on this project he doesn’t disappoint.
For example, on “How Am I Getting Home?” Bizarre raps vivid details of a wild night after getting stupidly drunk. On “Insane Asylum,” the D-Town raps dastardly lyrics about smoking crack and picking up ladies of the night.

Production-wise, Foul Mouth delivers head-nodding, jazzy boom-bap beats that strangely fits with Bizarre’s manic flows. If you are a fan of Eminem, who is a D12 alumni, Bizarre’s HHG 3: Art Peace is a worthy listen.
