Released in 2016, App 5 is widely regarded as a comeback masterpiece for O. The city was eagerly anticipating that classic, unfiltered State Property grit, and O delivered vivid street narratives, pain, and resilience. This was his re-introduction after serving time in jail. With his unique raspy delivery and high-level storytelling, he focused on the realities of the streets, the legal system, and the struggle of maintaining authenticity in a changing industry. The mixtape provided a somber, cinematic backdrop with a mid-2010s aesthetic. Standout tracks include “Overdose,” which offers a deep, introspective look at the addiction of street life, “Bout the Money,” a more aggressive, high-energy track that showcases his flow and wordplay, “Hate,” a diss style track where he addresses his detractors, and “Check Me Out,” which highlights his confidence and veteran status in the game. This mixtape silenced those doubts that O couldn’t do it without State Property or Roc-A-Fella. With our new series, Class Mixtape Run, we are here to bring that feel back like it was 2016 all over again! On behalf of Spotify, listen to it below!
