Rowdy Rebel & Fetty Luciano Continue Their Joint Effort Series With “Splash Brothers 2”

by

Two of Brooklyn’s rap talents, Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano, are reuniting for a new album Splash Brothers 2. Based on the title, this is indeed a sequel, and it follows up the original nearly a year later exactly. If you did not know, Fetty and Rowdy are close friends and affiliated with the collective GS9. So, if you were wondering why these two have such a close relationship, that is the loose backstory.

Both Fetty and Rowdy like to stay in the trap and drill lanes and you get plenty of those high energy moments here. However, if you saw our review of Splash Brothers 2, we had some issues with some lackluster effort on some of the tracks. The beginning of the record has its flashes of potential, but “2024” and “Pistons” suffer from poor mixing and attention to detail. Additionally, the features do a better job for the most part when they show up.

But overall, it is a decent offering, but maybe not as desirable as their first Splash Brothers tape. In terms of how each rapper got to this point, Rowdy was coming off a 2023 that saw him drop his solo album Back Outside and the Fetty collab tape. As for the former, he has only dropped three projects overall, and it is just his second since his 2018 debut Story To Tell. If you want to support Splash Brothers 2, check out the links above.

Rowdy Rebel & Fetty Luciano “Splash Brothers 2” Review

by

Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano are two Brooklyn MCs from the GS9 imprint. Their latest collaboration, Splash Brothers 2, just released on April 19, following the first Splash Brothers release from 2023. On Splash Brothers 2, Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano flex their street ties and luxury lifestyles over drill beats for 11 tracks which span 25 minutes of run-time. Let’s dive into the body of Splash Brothers 2, and review the material therein.

The Project Begins With A Rocky Start

Splash Brothers 2 opens with the track “2024.” This song has a loud, abrasive vibe showcasing Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano’s drill influences, though the mixing on this record leaves a lot to be desired. Rowdy sounds like Bizarre from D12 drowning in reverb, while a vocal feature from Lil Tjay comes and goes in the blink of an eye. This track doesn’t effectively set the tone for some of the highlights to come and could have easily ended up on the cutting room floor.

“Pistons” is another song that does very little to establish Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano’s stage presence, as JB completely steals the show with his guest verse. Sonically, the instrumental sounds so similar to Ice Spice’s “Deli” that you could make a sound argument that Spice deserves a writing credit. Later in the tracklist, “Can’t Talk Hot” features a nearly identical instrumental as well, without the powerful guest vocals of JB. As a result, “Can’t Talk Hot” sounds like a poorly conceived B-side of “Pistons,” which already sounds like a B-side of “Deli.” While Splash Brothers 2 does go on to reach some major highlights, opening with this one-two combo of mediocre songs was certainly a bad move from Rowdy and Fetty.

As stated, JB has the most compelling verse on “Pistons” by a country mile. This is not an isolated incident on Splash Brothers 2 as Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano are outshined by their guests numerous times. The track “Shake” is one of many examples of this phenomenon, with Rowdy and Fetty both completely drowning their vocals in autotune effects that make them sound like they just discovered the technology for the first time. The vocal mixing completely drowns out Rowdy to the point of near incoherence while Fetty’s interpolation of “I Don’t Want To Wait” by Paula Cole sounds embarrassing and unintentionally hilarious. D Sturdy completely sweeps them both on the back end of this track, with one of the hardest guest features on the album.

Things aren’t all bad for Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano. The pair hold their own against some other banging features elsewhere on the record. “Pissing Me Off” sees Fivio Foreign stealing the show, though both of the main Splash Brothers artists manage to keep up with some of their best lyrical showings on the album. “Pissing Me Off” is track 3 on Splash Brothers 2, but really sounds like it would have made a better opener.

Then there are tracks like “Spin First” and “My Block,” which see guest vocalists Curly and Chubbs blending in perfectly with Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano respectively. The former is a thumping club shaker that sounds like it could soundtrack a fight scene in a bodega in an episode of Mr. & Mrs Smith, while the latter sees Rowdy and Fetty trading bars back and forth with Chubbs, who compares and contrasts the street life of Chicago with the streets of Brooklyn.

The Album Has Some High Highs

“My Block” is probably the best cut on Splash Brothers 2, but it’s not the only highlight. “Twin Story Pt2” shows Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano rapping with no assistance, and illustrates their chemistry better than any other song on the project. The track is a direct sequel to track 6 off the first Splash Brothers album from last year and gets straight to the point as to why these two teamed to make an album together in the first place. Subsequent tracks such as “Pop Out (Yeah Yeah)” and “Good Night” also bring the heat, with the former serving as a street anthem loaded with references to smoking opps and luxury whips. “Good Night” brings some sonic diversity to the production which is severely lacking on most of the album, and showcases some versatile flows from Fetty Luciano especially.

At the end of the day, Splash Brothers 2 is more of the same from this crew. If you’re a fan of Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano’s previous work, you’ll likely find 3 or 4 new tracks here to add to your playlist. If you’re a die-hard hater of the GS9 crew, this album will definitely not do much to change your mind. Overall, the team has created a solid project, albeit with a few duds thrown into the mix.

Fetty Luciano No Longer Charged With Attempted Murder

by

Last July, Brooklyn-based rapper Fetty Luciano was arrested for his connection to a triple shooting at a pool party in Long Island. The “Demon Juice” artist turned himself into the Glen Cove Police Department after being accused of firing a gun. Luciano faced attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment charges. Prosecutors of his case have recently dropped the murder charges.

During the 2022 incident, a fight erupted amongst partygoers at an event hosted by Big Fendi. The music manager’s birthday pool party came to an abrupt end after shots were fired. Although the resulting aftermath caused no fatalities, three people were injured, including the bodyguard who tried to split up the altercation. Police claimed Luciano as the suspect who opened fire. The rapper pleaded not guilty to his charges, and his bail was set at $200,000. Had the charges for attempted murder not been dropped, Luciano would have faced 25 years in prison. Now, his remaining case can still result in the rapper spending up to 15 years behind bars.

AllHipHop reports from multiple sources that Luciano now faces lesser charges in relation to his involvement in the shooting. “This defendant allegedly brought a loaded gun into a crowded private event and, during an altercation, discharged the weapon and struck three victims,” Attorney Anne Donnelly noted. “Thankfully, the defendant’s alleged reckless actions did not cause life-threatening injuries to the victims and no one else was hurt.”

This current trial isn’t Luciano’s first stint in jail, as he was arrested alongside fellow GS9 member Bobby Shmurda in 2018. During his imprisonment, the rapper began experimenting with his musical side, which resulted in his mixtape Story to Tell. The 10-track album features Shmurda, alongside Gunna and Landstrip Chip. Since then, the 26-year-old has only released a handful of singles, with his latest being the 2020 drop of “Bendi.” Although Luciano’s case is ongoing, his upcoming trial date is due on March 31st.

Bobby Shmurda Affiliate Fetty Luciano Charged With Attempted Murder

According to a recent report from ABC 7 NY, GS9 member and Bobby Shmurda’s pal Fetty Luciano was arrested on attempted murder charges following a triple shooting in Long Island earlier this month.

26-year-old Fetty Luciano, whose real name is Remy Marshall, turned himself in at the Glen Cove Police Department yesterday (July 21) after he was linked to a triple shooting at a mansion pool party in Long Island. Marshall was charged with attempted murder and illegal weapons possession. He’s scheduled to be arraigned later today (July 22).

According to the report, the incident took place at Glen Cove’s The Mansion, an event venue that doubles as a hotel with 187 guest rooms and suites. About 200 people were in attendance on July 10 when a fight broke out between two people before gunshots were heard coming from the front entrance of the venue.

The victims were treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries and released from the hospital.

“It’s a bit of a shock, yeah, it’s a surprise,” Glen Cove Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck said. “This is just a beautiful venue. It’s used for high school reunions, weddings, fundraisers, for events, and things like this don’t happen here.”

Fetty, a member of Bobby Shmurda’s GS9 collective, released his debut album Story to Tell via Def Jam in 2018, with features from Gunna, Landstrip Chip and Shmurda. He also appeared on the deluxe version of Pop Smoke’s posthumous album Faith in 2021, featuring on the song “Double It.”
