Big Havi’s Personal Problems: A Raw Dive into Atlanta’s Sound
Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Big Havi didn’t come to play with Personal Problems. Released in 2020 under Commission Music, this hip-hop and rap-heavy album is like that uninvited guest at a party who ends up being the life of it. It’s gritty, real, and packed with enough bangers to keep your playlist from getting stale.
First off, shoutout to “9 Times Out Of 10 (feat. Lil Baby)” because wow, just wow. This track slaps harder than your grandma’s Sunday fried chicken. Big Havi brings his signature flow, but when Lil Baby hops on the mic? Chef’s kiss. The beat hits you right in the chest, heavy with those bass kicks that make your car rattle like it's about to fall apart. What sticks with me here isn’t just the production—it’s how both artists trade bars like they're settling old scores. You can tell these dudes didn’t phone this one in; they came to flex their lyrical muscles. By the time the song wraps, you’re ready to run through a wall or, ya know, hit replay for the fifth time.
Then there’s “Grimey As Eva,” which feels like an adrenaline shot straight to the heart. If chaos had a soundtrack, this would be it. Big Havi spits rhymes so sharp you might cut yourself trying to keep up. The energy doesn’t dip for a second—it’s relentless, raw, and kinda messy in all the best ways. There’s something hypnotic about the way he owns the track, like he knows exactly what buttons to press to get your head nodding. Honestly, I’ve caught myself muttering random lines from this while stuck in traffic. Not saying it helps road rage, but hey, it makes sitting in gridlock slightly less miserable.
Now, don’t get me wrong, not every track lands perfectly. Some songs feel repetitive after a few listens, and yeah, maybe there are moments where you wish Big Havi pushed boundaries a little further. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. Personal Problems doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it polishes it, slaps some fresh rims on it, and lets it ride.
What really stood out to me about this project wasn’t just the music—it was the vibe. Listening to this album feels like eavesdropping on a late-night conversation between friends hashing out life over a blunt. It’s personal, unfiltered, and sometimes uncomfortably honest. And honestly, isn’t that what good hip-hop should do? Make you feel like you’re peeking behind the curtain of someone else’s world?
So yeah, if you’re looking for cookie-cutter beats or polished perfection, this ain’t it. But if you want an album that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically, give Personal Problems a spin. Just don’t blame me if “9 Times Out Of 10” gets permanently stuck in your head. Oh, and fun fact: listening to this album might accidentally turn you into a hype beast. You’ve been warned.
