Album Review: It’s Us Vol. 2

The album cover for "It's Us Vol. 2" features a group of individuals standing together in a powerful formation, dressed in camouflage-patterned clothing, with an urban and edgy vibe.

Miles McCollum, best known as Lil Yachty, has been on the run of a lifetime since 2015. Stacking viral hits and platinum records while still relatively new to the rap game. Early in this decade, Yachty decided to branch out and create his own rap collective: Concrete Boys.

The group consists of Yachty, Draft Day, Camo!, Dc2Trill, Honest, and Karrahboo (who has since departed from the group). They quickly caught attention for their fashion, energy, and chemistry, releasing their first group project, It’s Us Vol. 1. Each member brought a unique style to the table, whether it was Draft Day’s delivery, Dc2Trill’s smooth flow, Camo!’s witty punchlines, or Yachty’s creativity, making the project versatile and engaging.

While fans received the album positively, critics were more mixed. Still, with a “Volume 1,” a sequel always felt inevitable. After working throughout 2025, the group released It’s Us Vol. 2 on February 27, 2026.

I’ll admit: although I listened to the first volume, I wasn’t deeply familiar with everyone in the group beyond Yachty and Draft Day. So I went into this project with open expectations—and it paid off.

The album opens strong, with triumphant horns setting the tone in the intro. The first two tracks feature most of the crew, and the production immediately grabs the listener’s attention. My jaw genuinely dropped during the beat switch on “WTFFF.” Meanwhile, “ALL THE SAME” features an incredibly catchy sample, arguably my favorite beat on the entire album. That opening stretch, from the intro through track four, is easily one of the strongest parts of the project.

The standout track, in my opinion, is “MILLIONAIRE.” It features a catchy hook from Yachty and memorable verses from Draft Day, Dc2Trill, and Camo!, showcasing the group’s chemistry at its best.

One drawback is the album’s length. At 18 tracks, it can feel a bit long, and trimming a few songs might have made for a tighter listen. That said, it never truly gets boring. The project offers a wide range of sounds and styles; no two tracks feel the same. While the lyricism is solid throughout, the subject matter isn’t overly complex, making it easy to enjoy even across a longer runtime.

If you ask me, the standout tracks are:

“WTFFF”

“Crete Cypher Intro”

“ALL THE SAME”

“285”

“If I Wasn’t Rapping”

“MILLIONAIRE”

Overall, Yachty and his crew show clear growth from the first installment of the It’s Us series. As Dc2Trill puts it:

“…Volume 2, this the best yet.”
