SAVONN LUCCI
MUD’S THICKER THAN BLOOD
2025
Label: Independent / Lucci Management

The latest project from Nashville’s underground fixture Savonn Lucci feels like a blood oath sworn in late-night studio sessions, with cigarette smoke curling above-cracked screens and styrofoam cups. MUD’S THICKER THAN BLOOD isn’t just an EP—it’s a family album for a chosen brotherhood, stitched together with 808 burns, next-gen shoegaze textures, and the icy undercurrent of Nashville’s darker rap and alt scenes. Across new collaborations with PANDAS.40 and longtime producer DrowzeeBeats, plus personal reworks of past tracks, Lucci isn’t just flexing—he’s documenting a bond thicker than any family tree.

The opener, “RECUÉRDAME”, a bilingual bruiser co-produced by PANDAS.40, sets the tone with humid beats melting into distorted synth cries—a trap lullaby for anyone who’s ever lost a brother to distance, time, or death. From there, Lucci plunges into “Hate Me (DAY 444)”, which feels like surveillance footage pulled from a bedroom bender, vocals distorted like they’ve been waterlogged in Auto-Tune and regret. Even “TEAM”, a track that sounds at first like a playful posse cut, carries a layer of weight—every bar doubling as both a flex and a farewell letter to anyone who couldn’t keep up with the pace.

But MUD’S THICKER THAN BLOOD transcends just being a SoundCloud-core nostalgia trip. It’s a blueprint for what Southern underground can sound like when its artists lean into vulnerability without losing the punch. “Twin Glock”, crafted with DrowzeeBeats, turns a house party threat into an anthem, layering scuzzy synths under a hook that’s pure Gen Z paranoia, trauma, and trust issues all feeding the same loop.

What separates Lucci from his peers is his ability to blur the line between bravado and confession. Tracks like “MUDS THICKER THAN BLOOD NEXT UP” stack aggressive ad-libs over lyrics that read like diary entries, all of it floating over beats that feel ripped from a haunted hard drive. It’s music for those who understand that being in the mud isn’t a setback—it’s where you learn who’s really with you.

As a whole, MUD’S THICKER THAN BLOOD works because it refuses to over-polish itself. Instead, Lucci embraces the imperfections—mic pops, clipped vocals, and mixes that feel half-finished in the best way. It’s a reflection of the project’s core message: real bonds aren’t clean, they’re messy, tangled, and built on survival. Blood might make you family, but mud makes you brothers.
