“The streets they washed up most of these niggas hoes / Can’t see be goin’ out sad, oh no, no, no.” Ooh-wee! Rapper Fredo Bang goes hard on his first single of 2024, “Come Thru”. “Come Thru” is brief, with a runtime of just two minutes and change. Early on, he serves up the melodic rap flow.  Even with pitched vocals in the mix, the bars are hard-nosed and tough.  Helping to fuel his fire, is the slick, sophisticated, and soulful production of DJ Chose and Hardbody B-Eazy.

Fredo Bang, Come Thru [📷: Se Lavi Productions, Inc. / Def Jam]In the first verse, Fredo Bang keeps it street 💯. The vibe is the same in the second. Here, he asserts, “We don’t give no fucks, play you out of luck, uh / I keep it on my side like my .40 was a crutch.”  Woo! He adds, “I pray to God that my dawg come home / I keep a gun just to make it home / I hope my mom know I love her soul / But you raised a child with a troubled soul.” While the lyrics are rough and tumble, they are also quite thought provoking. The chorus, also melodic, stands out:

“I swear to God, ‘fore I go out, I wanna shoot

Clap rods like it ain’t nothin’ else to do

Keep a stick on me, better have it on you

And if you got the drop, nigga, fuck it, come on through.”

No, Fredo Bang doesn’t deliver anything game changing – we’ve heard countless gritty rap performances. That said, he keeps it 💯, spitting real she-it on “Come Thru” in authentic and entertaining fashion.
