For Sozi, championship season has arrived once more.
The Chicago-born, Detroit-based emcee is back with a soulful, concise four-track, nine-minute project, Table For One EP, released on Jan. 21.
The project kicks off the rollout for Sozi’s next full-length album, Championship Season 2, which is slated for a 2027 release date.
Both aforementioned projects are companion records to Sozi’s 2020 album, Championship Season.
Across these four tracks, Sozi delivers smooth yet boastful raps over unwound, sample-driven backdrops.
“Neighborhood Superstar” utilizes a squeaky, smokey saxophone loop while the intro track, “Stay Clear/Devil Is A Lie” is built on a theatrical string section before transitioning into a vocal loop that coos and stretches.
As per usual, Sozi’s pen game is on point:
“I guess I’m prime Sozi so I gotta three-peat, “ he spits on “Neighborhood Superstar.”
