Album Review: 40 Glocks Dope Spots by Da Boy Eternal
Da Boy Eternal’s 40 Glocks Dope Spots is a gritty, unfiltered dive into the raw essence of street life and hustlin’. Released in 2015 under 100% Hustle Ent, this project doesn’t try to be anything it ain’t—straight-up Hip-Hop/Rap with bars that hit hard and beats that slap. If you’re lookin’ for glossy production or radio-friendly hooks, keep movin’. But if you want authenticity dripping from every track, this one's for you.
The album clocks in at a hefty runtime, packed with tracks like “Stuck n These Streets” and “Bang Bang (feat. Lil’ Rocky),” which stand out for different reasons. “Stuck n These Streets” grabs your attention right off the bat—it’s grimy, stripped-down, and feels like Eternal spittin’ his truth over a beat that could soundtrack a late-night drive through the block. The lyrics are sharp, painting vivid pictures of struggle and survival without sugarcoatin’ nothin’. You can tell he lived what he raps about, and that realness sticks with you long after the song ends.
Then there’s “Bang Bang,” where Lil’ Rocky jumps on the mic and adds an extra layer of heat. This joint bangs (pun intended)—it’s aggressive, in-your-face, and perfect for pumpin’ up before stepping into whatever battlefield life throws at ya. The chemistry between Da Boy Eternal and Lil’ Rocky makes it memorable; they trade verses like two soldiers taggin’ team on the frontlines. It’s chaotic but controlled, kinda like the streets themselves.
One thing worth noting is how repetitive some titles get—tracks like “Body Niggas” and “Servin Niggas” pop up multiple times with slight variations. At first glance, it might feel lazy, but honestly? It kinda works. It mirrors the cyclical grind Da Boy Eternal talks about throughout the project. Life on these streets ain’t always fresh stories; sometimes it’s the same battles fought over and over again.
By the time you reach cuts like “War Stories” or “Holla At Ya Nigga,” you start to realize this isn’t just music—it’s documentation. Eternal’s flow stays consistent, never straying too far from his core style, but that’s not a bad thing. He knows who he is as an artist, and he leans into it fully. There’s something admirable about sticking to your lane when everyone else is zigzagging all over the place.
Reflecting on 40 Glocks Dope Spots, I found myself thinkin’: this album ain’t gonna win any Grammys, and it probably won’t blow up playlists worldwide—but maybe that’s the point. In a world full of polished facades and manufactured hits, Da Boy Eternal delivers something rare: honesty. And honestly? That’s worth more than gold.
Unexpected remark: Listening to this album feels like scrolling through Instagram while someone narrates their captions. Raw, uncut, and occasionally messy—but real AF.
