Over the past few years Sunny Fritz has become a staple of the Tampa Hip Hop Scene, bringing a darker, hardcore Trill vibe to the area. On “Triple 6 Fritz” Sonny Fritz pays homage to Three 6 Mafia as well as the other Memphis Rap legends that helped pioneer the sound.
The project starts of with the eerie “Welkome To 666Fritz” welcoming us to the world we are about to enter for the next few minutes. Off rips the chopped and screwed production puts the listener in that Trill state of mind. Sunny has the perfect voice and energy for this darker style of Hardcore Hip Hip.
My favorite joint of the project is “Warlokk”. Sonny hits you like a quick upper cut with a grimy sped up flow at first then switching into into a more pronounced flow like when he spits “Bussin hollows out this 40, now his body chalk”. Sunny literally has like 5 different flows on this track showing his versatility as an emcee.
“Skarekrow” is another gritty Trill joint, a bit more slowed down than the previous 2 tracks but that allows the listener to peep all the game Sunny is putting everyone on. The video for this one is really dope bringing the whole vibe for the project full circle.
“Bluhdy Moneyy” is one of those late night creeper tracks. This one has more of an old school structure. I love Sunny’s howling ad libs in the background of the track. One of my favorite lines Sunny drops on this one is “Randy Moss with the plays how the trap took off” showing that just because we on this rap shit it’s still all gang at the end of the day.
“Headstone” was the perfect track to end the project on, just pure energy from Sunny. Great sample use on the beat really harkening back to those old school Memphis Rap classics we all know and love from Three Six & Koopsta Knicca. Wish we had more music like this nowadays but Sunny is for sure keepin it Trill.
Sunny flawlessly executed the theme and concept of this project. Myself being a huge supporter of all things Trill I had no choice but to vibe with this. Not sure if this is the direction Sunny will be taking with future projects but I am positive he will always incorporate those Trill & Memphis Rap elements in his upcoming work. Hopefully we can see some of these joints played live soon possibly at the next High Tolerance Show.
