Python P aka Big Bucko Gives Birth to Bars on His Debut Producer Album Born
Los Angeles producer Python P, better known as Big Bucko, has officially delivered his first producer album, Born — and it’s nothing short of a lyrical masterclass. With heavyweight features from SiR, Ab-Soul, Mick Jenkins, ICECOLDBISHOP, Daylyt, Airplane James, Sham1016, Bale, 2Eleven, Bart Oatmeal, and more, this project showcases the kind of sonic craftsmanship that bridges underground grit with upper-tier artistry.
🧠 The Sound of Birth — A Producer Statement
From the jump, Born feels alive. Every drum hit, bass drop, and sample selection speaks to Bucko’s understanding of texture — creating an environment where bars breathe, stories unfold, and energy remains consistent but unpredictable.
Python P doesn’t just curate; he conducts. Each track feels like it was built to challenge and celebrate lyricists simultaneously. The production is versatile — soulful one moment, sinister the next — but always balanced.
✍️ The Bars That Make You Rewind
One of the project’s brightest moments comes on “Salt Lab,” where Mick Jenkins flexes elite-level penmanship with lines that remind everyone why he’s one of the most cerebral writers in rap:
“Niggas been ill-advised / Need a Still I Rise / Attitude if you in this game / Haters get energized off of anything…”
From metaphors about digital addiction (“DMs are Willie Lynched”) to rhythmic acrobatics and social commentary, Jenkins glides over Bucko’s production like it was tailor-made for him — because it probably was.
🕊️ Soul & Substance
Ab-Soul’s appearance on “Lorda Mercy” is another highlight, filled with layered double entendres and fearless self-awareness:
“Crop long, but I never turn down no fades.”
“ARs full of Sleepy Hollow’s — stay woke.”
It’s the kind of bar work that rewards deep listeners — poetic, coded, but still raw.
Airplane James once again proves he can’t miss. His delivery on “What You Thought” is slick and effortless — blending street wisdom and West Coast charisma into a verse that feels both relatable and regal.
And then there’s Bart Oatmeal, who steps up with his trademark calm but calculated flow on “Kings Men”:
“Too much salt, y’all be punchin in / sittin on bowls, watch the wheels spin…
Ball point, point god, nigga I’m Jason Kidd.”
It’s witty, layered, and smooth — exactly the type of verse that makes replay value eternal.
🎧 The Perfect Ending
The project closes with SiR on “Fck Wit Me”* — delivering a dose of smooth, street-laced wisdom. His presence ties the project together, balancing hard bars with melodic introspection — the mark of true L.A. artistry.
🌍 Final Thoughts
Born is more than a compilation — it’s a declaration.
Python P aka Big Bucko proves that he’s not just another producer; he’s a curator of moments. The chemistry across this project feels intentional, like each artist was chosen to represent a different shade of what it means to be born into this culture, this city, and this sound.
This is hip-hop grown from the soil — gritty, thoughtful, and alive.
