Armani Caesar - The Liz 2 (Album)

It’s been about two years since the release of Armani Caesar’s debut album, “The Liz,” surfaced, where it showcased the First Lady of Griselda coming out in her own light. Still, Armani felt like there was doubt coming from fans of the label’s fandom, where they viewed her as the underdog or the odd person out of the group. It’s an unfortunate feeling since we’ve never seen or felt like she was the dark horse of the bunch, especially with how she has grown out of her original sound and fit perfectly over Daringer & Camouflage Monk's production. Hence, we knew she would prove to the doubter and nonbelievers on her next project that she’s not just filling space, but she’s the one breaking down barriers to being a problem for emcees and not only in the female bracket but in the men category as well. “The Liz 2” had more of Armani showcasing her artistry where it bridges her come up in music and flourish gracefully to see how far she’s come, she went from being the most hated to the most talked about in mere months, sit back and watch the Griselda queen conquer.

Presenting the album with class, Armani starts the project with a sly intro of Elizabeth, talking about how her jewelry is some of the magnificent gems seen and working off the luxury talk. It then opens up to the Flygod featured record “Paula Deen,” which was a favorite to receive before the full-length album dropped since it gave Armani space to shine. Even with having West added to the track, she showed she could write with the best and flex with the best, which starts off the album on the highest notion. One of the biggest surprises was seeing the Super Gremlin Kodak Black on the tracklist in the “Diana” joint. Still, Armani floats over the production in red bottoms with elegancy posture and does the record with justice in the lyrical sense with a melodic hook. “Mel Gibson” got to be one of my favorite joints, and I don’t mean off the album; in general, Armani lets the lyrical choppa start spraying on this record. Pretty, private & paid is the few words to sum up Armani, who’s out for headshots regarding the competition. She speaks on her past days of dancing, seeing the hating hoes keeping her name in their mouths to moving on up and living her life like the Jefferson in a penthouse, with luxury garments covering her curvaceous body. It’s her “talk that shit” record, and damn, if she does it to a T, let that be a lesson for those seeking her to lose because she’s not giving them the satisfaction anytime soon. Everyone on Griselda got that menacing single on their album that will scare the shit out of you, especially when it comes heavy with the production and the horrifying penmanship, Survival Of The Litest” is Armani’s track where she lets the raps go off in a horrific state that will surely keep these fragile rappers inside. Sitting on the throne in the “Queen City,” the baddest in the 713 is hustling out wardrobe like “Liz Claiborne” in the 90s. Cash stacked up the ceiling looking for that “Meth & Mary” love keeping the ice around her neck and wrist, creating an “Ice Age” whenever she walks into a room. Going back to her roots, the last track featuring Queendom Come & Beatking is the ass-shaking record that Armani was doing before. Being able to succeed in both sounds showcases her versatility and gives you more reason to crown her totality. Armani Caesar wears her heart on her sleeve more in this album than in her predecessor; it shows how much she’s needed to keep doubt off her mental. I don’t think she had to prove anything further for anyone but to keep the haters hating; I can tell you she’s even more of a problem for any gender; the underdog you feared is now the pitbull on the yard wrecking shit up. Armani Caesar is a deserved go-getta and needs to be recognized as such; go off, queen, you got the stripes to show your ranking as the baddest walking around in the finest wear possible.

Armani Caesar just shut the haters up with this album, no doubt; I’m sure she will be basking in the success and seeing her name change for the better. It’s no longer a thing to hear doubt when her name comes up; see her as the artist she is, superior in every way possible. Armani, you gleam like the jewels around your neck; we respect the grind and hope to see you shine brighter as the days go forward. We highly recommend you check out Armani's follow-up album, “The Liz 2”, while sharing it on all social media.
