CMB DUB brings the heat with Summer Vibes. A 9-track album that fully leans into its title with warm production, confident bars, and carefree energy. With a run time of just over 24 minutes, it’s a smooth and cohesive listen that feels like a day party in audio form. Here's a quick track-by-track breakdown:

1. OMG (Intro)The album kicks off with confidence. DUB's flow is catchy and charismatic. The sing-songy delivery on the verses feel effortless. This song really sets the tone for the feeling of this project. it's giving beach day with a piña colada in hand.

2. Party in the Mansion A standout early on. Pretty guitar melodies paired with thumping 808s create a vibe that's both chill and banging. The melodic hook delivers a meaningful message: “We will never love life until we love who we are.” It'sEmpowering and radio-friendly.

3. I Don’t Know This one keeps the melodic bounce but doesn’t quite hit the same. It’s chill, but comes off a bit flat compared to the rest. This one feels like the low point of the project.

4. Player Ways DUB taps into his “toxic hip hop” bag here, flexing dope lyrics and a slick flow. The beat has bounce and personality, making it easy to nod along even if the subject matter’s wild.

5. Night Time Cruise with a Bad Bitch This one is pure late-night player energy. The hook is bold and NSFW, but the nighttime cruising beat matches perfectly. Near the end there's a Lil Wayne shoutout, followed by a few bars that sounds like a weezy flow. I can definitely hear the influence.

6. We Outside A feel-good summer anthem. Top-down, girls twerking in crocs, and smooth Pop Smoke-for-the-ladies type vibes. DUB paints the picture vividly and keeps the energy lit.

7. Girls Wanna Have Fun This track sounds like some undeniable ear candy. With a hook built for the ladies and a party anthem feel, this track is made for hot girl summer playlists everywhere. Juice, rum, and partying until the sun comes up—it’s all in there.

8. She in Love with a Rockstar Not every track lands. This one blends in sonically but suffers from overprocessed vocals, especially on the verses. The hook is decent, and the rap section near the end was kinda dope, but the mix holds it back.

9. It’s Lit (Outro) A perfect closing vibe. The party doesn’t stop! This outro is all about escaping the stress, getting lit with loved ones, and toasting to a dope summer. The final message of spreading love and remembering the fallen adds a real human touch.

Final Thoughts:CMB DUB’s Summer Vibes delivers what it promises. The music and artwork align, the vibe is consistent, and most importantly—it’s fun. In a time when many artists overthink everything, DUB reminds us that music can (and should) be a good time. It’s not perfect, but it’s honest, vibrant, and easy to run back. #RapNerdApproved
