On its face, a collaboration between Three 6 Mafia icon Juicy J and Logic might be a bit surprising. The former made his name as a Memphis repping, horrorcore-loving, shit-talking street observer while the latter rose up by treating the studio booth as his own diary. On Live and In Color, though, they effortlessly meld their two styles and end up with the result all collab albums should strive for: unexpected yet thrilling. On the swaggering, five-and-a-half-minute title track opener, Juicy kicks things off over punchy piano chords and steady handclaps. He sounds invigorated, trying on different flows and clearly looking to bring his best stuff while working with the hyper-verbose Logic. On the flip side, it would be easy for the Rockville, Maryland native to cede the spotlight to someone as decorated as Juicy J—especially as he handles production throughout the entire project. Never one to back down from a challenge, though, Logic brings some of his best beats to the project. Check out the playful, old-school, and swaggering “Big Bag Talk,” which features sirens—a nod to one of rap’s most celebrated producers, the late J Dilla.
