In July of 2022, a weight was lifted from the shoulders of beloved Baton Rouge MC Bandz when a Los Angeles court found him not guilty of possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon. A conviction would have added to a near endless amount of interruptions that Bandz’s career has sustained from trouble with the law, so the clearing of his name was as good a reason as any to celebrate, which he does with Don’t Feed The Sharks. At 26 songs, the album is true to Bandz’s reputation as one of the most consistently prolific artists of his era, Bandz weaving in and out of two of his most prominent vocal styles: aggressive-to-the-point-of-teeth-gnashing rapping, and his twangy, unmistakable, and dependably emo singing. There's enough Bandz to go around here.
