Album Review: Come Thru by Jacquees x Rich Homie Quan
Alright, let’s talk about Come Thru, the collab album from Jacquees and Rich Homie Quan that dropped back in 2015. I know, it’s been a minute, but this one still hits different when you throw it on. It’s got that smooth Hip Hop vibe with heavy RnB/Swing undertones—like something you’d play while tryna set the mood or just chillin’ after a long day.
First off, gotta give props to Cash Money Records for backing this project. They always know how to bring that Southern heat, and this joint is no exception. The chemistry between Jacquees and Rich Homie Quan feels natural, like they’ve been making music together forever. You can tell KB (the producer) really put some soul into these beats, and ForteBowie’s songwriting ties everything together nicely.
Now, onto the tracks. Obviously, the title track “Come Thru” sticks out—it's kinda hard not to notice it since it sets the tone for the whole album. That bassline? Chef’s kiss. It’s low-key hypnotic, and Rich Homie Quan’s flow just glides over it effortlessly. Then Jacquees comes in with his buttery vocals, and suddenly you’re thinking, "Yo, why aren’t more albums like this?" Like, it’s simple but effective—no crazy bells and whistles, just straight vibes.
Another standout is “All Night.” This one has this lazy Sunday afternoon feel, where you don’t wanna do nothing but lay back and vibe. Jacquees is doing what he does best here—melodic hooks that stay stuck in your head for days. And Rich Homie Quan? Dude’s ad-libs are fire as usual, adding that extra layer of flavor without overdoing it. Honestly, it’s one of those songs that makes you wish summer lasted all year round.
But here’s the thing about Come Thru: it doesn’t try too hard. Some albums come at you with all these big features and flashy production tricks, but this one keeps it real. It’s almost like hanging out with two friends who just wanna share their sound without any extra drama. Maybe that’s why it flew under the radar for so many people. Either way, it’s worth revisiting if you slept on it before.
Random thought though—if Jacquees and Rich Homie Quan ever decided to drop another collab album today, would it slap as hard? Hard to say. But hey, maybe they should call it Slide Thru. Food for thought.
