The Atlanta MC is as versatile as ever on this Gangsta Grillz offering, and taps Vince Staples, Benny The Butcher, and more.

It's been quite a while since we've heard a long-form offering from Atlanta rapper Reese LAFLARE, and it seems like he knew that. Moreover, his latest project, a Gangsta Grillz collaboration with DJ Drama, holds a versatile set of tracks that sees him at his best. Diva Vol. 4 is as soulful as it is saucy, as hard as it is heavenly, and as versatile as it is volitional. Almost every track here seems like it serves a specific mood-driven or instrumental purpose in the tracklist. As such, Reese crafted a tight and consistently entertaining body of work that shows off a lot of catchy flows and compelling performances.

Instrumentally, there are a lot of pallets here that switch up from track to track, resulting in a lot of variety. Furthermore, Reese LAFLARE is just as prone to float over a trap beat, a West Coast banger, or more R&B-influenced cuts. Not only that, but the 35-year-old does a very effective job of switching his performance from song to song to fit the vibe. It's definitely been a long way since the first volume of Diva, and his artistic sensibilities this time around display that growth. In addition, he taps a lot of guests here to add to Vol. 4's color, variety, and exciting nature.

Vince Staples, Benny The Butcher, KennyHoopla, Ty Dolla $ign, KEY!, and Money Makin' Nique are among the guests here. Each fits their track quite well with their respective styles, such as Vince's excellent verse on the California-sounding cut "Top Diva." Overall, don't miss out on this album if you like any kind of rap, and find it on your preferred streaming service.
