Xavier Wulf has returned to the fold, bringing forth a new album by the name of East Memphis Maniac. Those familiar with the rapper might expect dark bangers and Southern swagger; in that regard, they will not be disappointed. Wulf stays true to his roots, enlisting an eclectic cast of characters from Bankroll Rico, Skepta, Madeintyo, Bones, and more.

Xavier Wulf lines up with another Memphis talent, producer Tay Keith, who has already started off 2018 as one of the game's rising up-and-comers. Together, they form to deliver standout cut "Homecoming," which finds Wulf and Bankroll Rico spitting bars over an up-tempo, synth-driven instrumental. The hometown aesthetic drips from every word, as Wulf's stylistic innovators seem imbued within him; it's refreshingly and unapologetically Memphis, further proof that the region is poised for a well-earned moment in the sun.
