Hitta Young has always possessed an insatiable passion for creative expression that is driven by his love for music and which sparkled as early as 5 years of age. By age 7, he was already writing his own rhymes, and by age 14, he started recording his music professionally. Growing up in the streets of Boston, he flirted with danger on countless occasions, and it is such experiences as well as street education that characterize his rhymes. By borrowing inspiration from real-life happenings, his music resonates with unique audiences who relate to every bit of rhyme, bar, and hook.

“Cry” is his latest album that features a total of 10 tracks, all delivered from Young’s heart and soul. This album was inspired by daily life and thoughts and has been delivered in a way that allows the listener to develop their own personal feelings with the music and lyrics.

“Scars” is the opening track and a memorable one at that. Through the spicy concoction of trap and R&B elements, Young’s captivating voice emerges as he takes the listener on a ride both as a rapper and singer. The catchy hooks are another strong highlight of this masterpiece that remains with the listener even when they are not listening to it.

“2 Mins of Death” is a proper and epic drill banger that sees Hitta Young come off bare-knuckle, leaving a marvelous trail of lyrical destruction in his wake. I feel that this track is one of the greatest representations of Young’s lyrical ability from the entire album. This track is also the most aggressive and punchline-heavy, containing a concoction of diverse flows infused with captivating energy and lyrical conviction.

One of the hardest and most direct songs from the album, Young never fails to impress his listener with his unmatched wordplay, hard punchlines, and scholarly flows over the excellent production.

“Safe” features a cleverly laid-back nostalgic production with Young’s lyrical performance allowed to thrive as he puts you in another dimension with that special blend of his captivating voice and the old-school-inspired beats. This performance really hits the listener right in the feels.

When you listen to “Cry” in its entirety, you will understand why an album of the year shouts are not far-fetched. This album embodies timeless, relevant, and catchy qualities and is an easy recommendation to any music lover who adores hip-hop and R&B sound innovation.
