TM88’s F.I.L.A. 25 arrives as a sprawling 25-track love letter to his hometown, Atlanta part tribute, part survey of the city’s trap legacy. The production is textbook TM88: booming 808s, hard-hitting drums and moody, atmospheric melodies but sprinkled throughout are moments of subtle evolution, where he experiments with texture and vibe, showing he hasn’t been giving the same beat twice. The album leans heavily on collaborations: big names like Future, 2 Chainz, T.I., Waka Flocka Flame, OJ Da Juiceman and others share space with rising Atlanta voices giving F.I.L.A. 25 both cred, history, and freshness. One of the lead singles, Quadruple with Future, stands out: it’s got that signature TM88 energy dark, heavy trap drums, ominous melodies and represents what the album does best when producer and rapper are in sync. In those moments you might feel F.I.L.A. 25 could’ve been leaner,25 songs is a lot to digest but the breadth also underlines the ambition: it’s a sprawling portrait of Atlanta as much as a hip-hop project. What works especially well is the balance between bangers built for the club/street and more reflective, atmospheric tracks showing TM88’s versatility as a curator, not just a beat-maker. At its best, F.I.L.A. 25 feels like a tapestry: decades of ATL-sound influence woven into a present-day trap narrative. Overall: for fans of Atlanta trap, this album lands as a statement not just for TM88, but for the city itself. You can support him and buy/stream his new album out, NOW !!~~Track Preview~~
