Overnight success can be fleeting, but putting in the proper groundwork and laying a solid foundation often yields longevity. It's the approach that rising rapper Hoodrich Pablo Juan has taken with his career. The Atlanta native caught the rap bug relatively late, dropping his first mixtape, 2015's Designer Drugz, at age 25. But the newcomer hit the ground running and hasn't looked back, compiling an impressive résumé in just a few years.

Strengthening his buzz with mixtapes like Master Sensei and two additional installments of Designer Drugz, Hoodrich stepped up to the big leagues by inking a deal with Gucci Mane's 1017 Eskimo Records, setting the stage for an onslaught of projects intended to stake his claim in the rap game. Hood Wolf, his 2017 collaborative mixtape with producer Danny Wolf, helped further popularize Hoodrich Pablo Juan's intoxicating drawl and cocksure boasts, solidifying a promising rap tandem. Danny remembered their first encounter in an interview last year with XXL.

"Pablo came busting through the door—you know, Pablo’s Pablo—and I was like, 'I like your energy. That’s what I want on my music,'" Wolf said. "He told me to load up a beat and I did and he just went in and made stuff for his first Designer Drugz, his first mixtape. And then he made the song 'J Money.' And I remember I called my manager like, 'Sign this guy, he’s going to blow!'"

The two artists reconnect on a new sequel project HoodWolf 2, which picks up where the previous effort left off. Still, Juan ups the ante, with some other rising rappers joining in the fray (Gunna, Lil Skies, Rich The Kid, BlocBoy JB and Lil Duke all contribute to the project).

With Hoodrich Pablo Juan and Danny Wolf's latest collaborative effort continuing their hot streak, XXL picks 20 of the best lyrics from HoodWolf 2 that are sure to leave listeners impressed.
