Yo, what's poppin' fam? It's ya boy Denzel back in the mix! We
'bout to dive into Juicy J's new joint, "Ravenite Social Club," that
just dropped yesterday. Mad respect to Juicy J, he’s one of the OGs from
the Three Six (666) Mafia from the Dirty South, so let’s see if he
brings that heat like we expect.1. The Provider - We startin' off smooth with some chill guitar and piano vibes. Juicy J's chattin' over the beat, givin' us some backstory. It's a cool intro, laid-back vibes.
2. The Higher Ups - Aight, now the beat's kickin' in proper. This one’s got that political flavor, and I’m feelin’ it. The beat's light, not my first pick for this kinda track, but it makes you focus on the bars. And Juicy's droppin' some gems—ain't too complicated, ain't too basic. This joint goes hard with the message.

Overall - 15/20
3. Don’t Go Out -
Now we talkin'. This beat's way better, and Juicy's flow is on point.
He’s spinnin’ a story, and it’s dope. More political vibes, similar to
the last joint, but it still bangs.

4. That's Gangsta -
Juicy switchin' it up here, spittin' about women's rights. Unusual for a
dude, but it's fresh and different. His flow is killer, the hook’s
straight fire. This track’s got that raw respect for the ladies—genius
move.

Overall - 17/20
5. Everything All Good -
The beat’s solid, started out hard but then cooled off. Wish he kept
that edge, though. Juicy’s rappin' about his daughter, the struggles in
the hood, takin' her to Chuck E. Cheese and all that. Real talk, you can
tell this track means a lot to him. Second verse hits hard, especially
when he drops, "My wife a queen, not a Barbie." That’s real talk right
there.

6. Fucked Up Era -
Light beat again, but Juicy’s bringin’ that thought-provoking content.
The rhymes hit that sweet spot between simple and complex. It's got you
thinkin'. This an aight track.
Beats - 6/10
Lyrics - 7/10
Overall - 13/20
7. Thought It Was - Juicy
throws in some nice scratches on the intro—pardon me, "pimp-tro," as he
calls it. This one’s a switch-up from the last few tracks, more about
braggin' and pimpin'. He’s throwin’ shade at sucker MCs and industry
plants. It’s a chill track, perfect for loungin’ with a cold one.

8. Deserve It ft. Emi Secrest -
The beat’s tight here. But there’s this one bar, "You’ve got the gift
like you’re slidin' down the chimney," that misses the mark. I get the
Santa reference, but it's kinda awkward. Makes me think of the broad as a
stripper, and y'all know I ain't gonna be comparing my girl to no
stripper. Still, it’s a solid love song. Juicy pays tribute to his girl
without gettin' corny or creepy like some others out there. Emi Secrest
does her thing too, and that scratches at the end—chef’s kiss. Ya boy's
probably kinda biased because my Queen goes by Emi as well, but it's
aight.

9. The Past is the Past - This
one’s just aight. The beat’s a bit messy, and the content’s kinda
repetitive. Not bad, but I won’t be callin’ for this track on repeat.
Beats - 6/10
Lyrics - 5/10
Overall - 11/20
10. Consequence -
This beat is menacing, and I’m here for it. The lyrics are deep, and
Juicy's flow is untouchable here. It’s got that KRS-One "Uh-Oh!" vibe,
but Juicy makes it his own. The refrain’s hardcore—dope track.
Beats - 8/10
Lyrics - 8/10
Overall - 16/20
11. Payment - This
one's just okay. The flow’s a bit off, lyrics are pretty standard. The
beat’s cool, but the content’s startin' to feel repetitive. Hate when an
album starts to drag like that.
Beats - 8/10
Lyrics - 5/10
Overall - 13/20
12. One in a Million - This one’s decent, thought-provoking even. The hook stands out, but overall it’s just average.
Beats - 7/10

Overall - 14/20
13. Suicide Doors ft. Cordae - The
intro’s kinda dumb, with the repetitive swears, but once it gets going,
this track slaps. Juicy and Cordae got crazy chemistry, trading bars
like they been rehearsing for days. Cordae's got the more complex
verses, but Juicy’s voice just hits different. This one’s fire.
Beats - 8/10
Lyrics - 9/10
Overall - 17/20
14. The Bottom Line - Solid
intro, and the beat’s okay when it drops. Juicy’s flow is decent, and
the track makes you picture him standin' on a mountain top lookin’ down
like a king. Would’ve made a dope outro.
Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 8/10
Overall - 15/20
15. To You ft. Robert Glasper & Emi Secrest -
This one’s a dedication to Lord Infamous, RIP to a Memphis legend.
Emi’s vocals are beautiful, and Juicy’s bars are a heartfelt tribute.
Got the speakers steamin’ word. You can feel the love and respect—an
amazing tribute.

16. Sometimes - Juicy's
flowin’ nice again, and the beat’s better. The rhymes feel a bit
forced, but it's still solid. Not fire, but not wack either.
Beats - 8/10

Overall - 14/20
17. Things Changed ft. Emi Secrest & MacKenzie -
Another emotional track, this one’s about breakin’ up. Got a Taylor
Swift vibe to it, and some of the rhymes just ain’t hittin'. Juicy
shoulda closed the album with "Bottom Line" 'cause this outro is weak.
Beats - 6/10
Lyrics - 5/10
Overall - 10/20
Final Score: 209/320
Grade: 65%
So
overall, I’m diggin’ the project. It's jazzy, it's dope ish. Some
tracks are too soft or feel like filler, but Juicy J still delivers.
Worst part is the outro, feels like he got lazy and slapped it together
without passion. But otherwise, it’s a solid tape. That Lord Infamous
dedication? Straight chef's kiss.
Best Track - To You
Favorite Track - That's Gangsta
Worst Track - Things Changed
