Atlanta MC Trouble has spent most of the year promoting his standoutSkoobzillamixtape, one of his best projects to date. Consistently releasing videos and performing his high energy live shows throughout the Southeast, it seemed like Trouble was simply riding the wave of well-earned success. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Trouble has been on his grind, working with everyone from Shawty Fresh to Metro Boomin; C4 to Mike Will Made It and more. While Skoobzilla made many aware of Trouble, he’s established himself as a street artist in the South for a few years. His 2015 project #ZayDidIt, which was executive produced by Zaytoven, sparked the current growth spurt for Trouble, and saw him developing a sound beyond the stark haunting music he’d created in his first mixtapes.
Now, we get the latest work from Troub and Zay titled “Who You Kiddin.” The uptempo bass-heavy bouncing track frames the portrait Trouble paints with the lyrics. The record is menacing and witty, celebratory and lesson giving. It all sounds like fun if you’re not paying attention, as Trouble snarls, “I went from a chain-gang cell to a fuckin jet/Went from talkin bout it to bringin my Mom a check. I went from showin love and a nigga being unappreciated/To saying fuck a nigga he got a hoe heart and you’ll never make it. Pussy!”
