Built for the Subwoofers: Icewear Vezzo Keeps It Authentic on Rich Off Pints 4

Released July 17th 2026

Coming off December’s Purple Passion album, which I thought was a very solid release, I was definitely looking forward to the Detroit MC’s newest project, Rich Off Pints 4. As you guessed, it’s the fourth installment in the series from Icewear Vezzo, and interestingly enough, it’s been four years since the last entry. Icewear keeps it authentic with his gritty Detroit trap sound, but there isn’t much to differentiate this tape from his recent work, culminating in a decent, if slightly lackluster, project.

This is another release built specifically for car speakers. One thing Icewear will always do is pick speaker-knocker beats, and this project is no exception. Coming in at 15 tracks, you’d be hard-pressed to find a single song without the potential to set off car alarms if you have decent subs. Even the “for the ladies” track, “Can You Handle It,” stays true to form (though it was probably the only personal skip for me). Tracks like “May May,” “Let’s Go,” and “I Ain’t Trippin” (feat. 42 Dugg) highlight Icewear right in his element, weaving street tales across thumping beats. That said, if you’re looking for introspection or experimental sounds, you’re barking up the wrong tree. While I’m not mad at an artist fully embracing his lane, it does cause some tracks to bleed together.

Unlike the previous tape in the series, which boasted a wide array of guest spots from the likes of Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and E-40, Icewear keeps the feature list tight and mostly centered on Motown. Payroll Giovanni, 42 Dugg, Sada Baby, Peezy, and GT all make noteworthy appearances, with rising Chicago artist Pistol Po as the sole outsider (though still repping the Midwest). Sada and Peezy team up with Vezzo to craft a dark-horse runner-up for Song of the Summer with “Ghetto Thriller”—easily one of the high points of the album.

Overall, there are plenty of enjoyable moments here to warrant giving it a spin. While I liked it slightly less than Purple Passion, it’s still a solid riding-music release for the Dog Days of Summer.
