Florida rappers have a history of being tough but vulnerable, and Bandz-the brightest star among his city's new guard-seems determined to carry on that legacy in his tales of loss, loyalty, and hustle. You could call him cold-blooded on tracks like the Li Redd - assisted "Murda," where he yelps, "I ain't scared, we go to war where I'm from." But Bandz wears his heart on his sleeve, and Decided Mind deals with love and heartbreak just as often as it does violence. Over moody piano on "Sky Cry," he's strikingly poetic about a relationship's end: "I see your soul in the sky through a symbol."
