Editors’ Notes In a great bit of rap mythmaking, Detroit’s 42 Dugg got his start in part while bonding over high-stakes dice games with Lil Baby. And if you’re inclined to believe him (hustlers' tales go better with a grain of salt), he not only whipped up the second volume of Young & Turnt in short order, but freestyled the whole thing. Truth or sales pitch, who knows, but there’s a liveness to what Dugg does that makes the high points on Y&T 2 some of the more exciting rap of 2020: the ragged sing-along of “Hard Times,” the trash talk of “Habit,” the way Dugg’s voice (nasal) and his flow (restless) make it sound like he can’t wait for the bell to attack the beat. And for those who mistake tenderness for honesty, behold a stray confession from “It Get Deeper”: “Fell out with my best friend over six grams/Now I ain’t got a best man but I got fans.”
