For Case 267, Regg and Taurian B. drag Don Toliver’s 2021 album Life of a Don into the interrogation room. Was it smooth alternative brilliance, or did it just smell like too much cologne in a packed lounge? They break the project down track by track, interrogating beats, hooks, and features like witnesses who might be lying under oath. The jury? That’s the listeners, who get hit with Regg and Taurian’s opening statements before the trial really begins.

The central question: Was Life of a Don the best alternative rap album of 2021? To find the answer, they pull out the rap yearbook and size it up against the competition—projects from artists who also blurred lines between rap, R&B, and experimental soundscapes. Regg plays the sharp-tongued prosecutor, calling out weak points with dry precision, while Taurian steps in as the defense attorney, willing to argue that even a hazy banger deserves its day in court.

If a track drags, they’ll call it “inadmissible evidence.” If a feature steals the show, they’ll accuse Don of negligence. And when they deliver their final verdict, it feels less like a review and more like a sentencing—does Life of a Don walk free as a 2021 standout, or does it get locked away in the cell of forgettable projects?
