Обложка альбома «My Moment» — Tee Grizzley

When Tee Grizzley was released after three years in prison, he had several albums’ worth of lyrics and a determination never to return to a cell. He decided that, instead of burglarising school dorms and jewellery stores, which was what got him locked up in the first place, he would make a living from music—and “First Day Out” is just the shot he needed to make that a reality. Recorded shortly after his discharge, the song captured both the euphoric gratitude of his newfound freedom and the cockiness of his return to the street. The video garnered more than 3 million views in two weeks and landed him a deal with 300 Entertainment, and Tee carries the same urgency into <i>My Moment</i>, his debut mixtape that made him a star and gave a national platform for a new brand of Detroit hip-hop. “First Day Out” was Tee’s introduction to the rap game and represented the proliferation of longtime Detroit producer Helluva’s self-described “basement sound.” Helluva’s mix of menacing keys and ghastly synths paired perfectly with Tee’s breathless, off-the-margins flow, a Detroit-honed rap style that had begun to gain traction in the mid-2010s. The duo showcase their chemistry on much of <i>My Moment</i>, with Helluva producing over half of the album’s 13 tracks. Tee raps confidently and dexterously on boastful cuts like “No Effort” and “10K”, name-dropping hometown staples like Cartier Buff glasses while laughing about snatching women (described with melodic mischief on “Side N***a”). The bombast is earned from what he's had to persevere through: “Real N****s” bemoans the betrayal and isolation he felt when receiving his prison sentence; “Secrets” expresses remorse for unmentionables with dire consequences; and “Day Ones” eulogises longtime friends lost to early deaths or longer sentences. Tee Grizzley has confidence, personality, focus and a story to tell—however long his moment lasts, his debut mixtape declares, he’ll make the most of it.
