This is their second collaboration and first since 2021’s “Big Persona.”
Texas’ Maxo Kream and Cali’s Tyler, the Creator team up for a Big Western Showdown.
Directed by Karim Belkasemi, the duo keep it simple, yet stylish for the “Cracc Era” music video as they rap over Tyler production fitted up in a studio with a white backdrop. The beat harkens back to the Odd Future boss’ older style and will be easy to replicate on a lunchroom table top like “Grindin’” by The Neptunes. Tyler’s verse is short, but his voice goes perfect with the beat as he spits, “N—a two-tonе, two-door, watchin’ Juno, you know/Who them is when you see n—s in them Unos” and handles chorus duties. Maxo, on the other hand, raps a longer verse in his signature cadence and displays some intricate wordplay. “My Hoover Crips your Ruger clips/Like Ludacris, I throw a bow/I finish him like Liu Kang, I want the brain like Al Snow,” he raps before talking about his “jackin’” days.
Maxo and Tyler have great chemistry and probably should consider working together more often. This is their second collaboration, with the first being 2021’s “Big Persona” from the Texas rapper’s Weight of the World album.
Maxo seems to be gearing up to dropping an album this year. He’s been keeping a steady pace, releasing a handful of singles and got some features in to keep the pen sharp, most notably “H Town Texas” with Big Tony and “Talkin In Screw” with That Mexican OT.
Earlier this year, he lost his father and began a weight loss journey. He’s down more than 75 pounds and looks forward to making some noise with his next project. A single produced and featuring Tyler is a good start.
