Boosie Badazz - Iviona & Pops

"Iviona & Pops de Boosie Badazz," released under the Badazz Music Syndicate label on March 1, 2026, redefines rap codes by placing collaboration at the heart of its sound identity. This project sits between two versions of Grown Man Talk to offer a radically shared listening experience, where solo vocals are consistently replaced by prominent guest appearances.

Poison Ivi, the guest who becomes the main author

The construction of this album is based on a continuous thread: the constant presence of Poison Ivi from the moment the listener puts on their headphones with We Just Living. This opening track, track number 1, serves as a central figure to introduce a dynamic where Boosie Badazz acts more as a conductor than a solo artist. Poison Ivi provides his vocals on all eleven tracks, transforming each recording into a shared space rather than an individual statement. This omnipresence creates a unique collective identity, where the host's flow is constantly shaped by a third voice that asserts its own vocal style without ever fully blending into the usual soundscape of local rap.

Tootie Raww and Snug: the vocal variations of a unified album

If cohesion is ensured by Poison Ivi, the album gains texture thanks to strategic interventions by two other figures on the central tracks. On Dive and Step, the second track on the album, there is a notable double presence with Tootie Raww, who continues a shared history initiated in 2018 on the album Savage Holidays. Their collaboration on this track is not insignificant: it recalls notable past collaborations such as "Christmas Lights" or "I Feel It", while also adding a layer of familiarity between the three artists. Further on, on the third track, Let Me Through, Snug's contribution introduces a necessary vocal variation within this main collaboration, breaking the potential monotony of a single dominant flow and enriching the soundscape of the album.

From 'We Just Living' to '1st 2 Win', a seamless continuation

The structure of the project concludes on 1st 2 Win, the final numbered track, marking a continuation where no solo voice dominates until the very end. Between the raw energy of the opening and the final resolution, the eleven tracks form a monolithic block where the collaborations vary slightly in intensity but never in presence. The classic structure, with a strong opening track and a marked conclusion, serves as a framework for this collective experiment, which blurs the boundaries between the main artist and the guest, leaving only a fused identity.

The album of eleven collaborations: the gamble for complete continuity

This album permanently redefines Boosie Badazz's role in 2026, amidst a year marked by several notable deaths in rap and a still-vibrant Grammy Awards scene. Iviona & Pops does not aim to prove the producer's technical mastery or the individual flow, but rather to validate the effectiveness of a format where the multiplicity of voices becomes the only constant. With eleven tracks on eleven, featuring confirmed by Spotify, the album stands out for its rarity: it is an opus without solo tracks, closed by an ending that ensures the coherence of the collaborative project. It remains a bold concept proof, where the legacy lies less in the individual catalogue than in the ability to transform each session into a unique and indivisible encounter.
