For those of you who are just getting around to checking him out based on the name, the reputation, or trying to figure out where to go beyond the memes and the hot takes, you’re in luck. We’ve selected 10 of the most essential Blueface tracks to get you started. Some of these are the singles that blew him up, the deep cuts that showcase the edges of his skill, or even collabs that indicate how others might find chemistry with his wildstyle antics. If you’re one of the converted, plenty of these songs should meet your approval and if you’re one of the skeptics, maybe one of these will have the exact combination to unlocking his puzzling approach to rap.
“Dead Locs”
Deceptively minimal and markedly casual, “Dead Locs” is one of those classic Blueface tracks that actually doesn’t have any of the particular tics that the majority of people would associate with the rapper. Instead of his screeching tone and his rambunctious energy, for the most part Blueface is pretty subdued, constantly returning to the “On the Dead Locs” refrain as a jump-off point. It’s a basic formula to inject Blueface’s many catchphrases and quotables into your brain, but it works effectively thanks to the relentless assault of the rapper’s motormouth charm and snide braggadocio. It’s no wonder “Dead Locs” is just one of the many salvos that got turned into the memes that kept Blueface in everyone’s eyes, ears and mouths.
