On their own, DaBaby and NBA YoungBoy are two of the more successful and prolific forces in commercial rap. Streaming numbers in the hundreds of millions are commonplace for both, and both have had multiple albums hit the top of the charts. Collaborative mixtape Better Than You brings together two rappers with styles that are similarly powerful but distinctive in terms of delivery. On projects released not long before this mixtape, like the 2022 album Colors, YoungBoy's rhymes are fast and frenetic, with flows that zoom by so quickly their occasional injections of melody can be hard to catch. DaBaby's style has just grown more blunt and increasingly aggressive as his career has gone on, and his way of attacking every track he performs on is one of the defining characteristics of his appeal. Songs like "BBL" and project standout "Neighborhood Superstar" are great examples of both rappers playing to their strengths. In these moments Better Than You is an exciting meeting of the minds, and a complementary if somewhat predictable pairing of the two talents. Throughout much of the mixtape however, DaBaby stays in his comfort zone style-wise while NBA YoungBoy approaches the songs from more experimental angles. This can be as unremarkable as the Auto-Tuned melodic hooks of the pained ballad "Little to a Lot," or as glaring as the pitched-up vocals that run through the entirety of "Syracuse." The production and presentation vary from track to track, with inventive highlights like "Bestie" sitting alongside by-the-numbers mainstream rap tracks like the synthy "Turbo." Better Than You doesn't expose any new collaborative chemistry, but offers several solid tracks of DaBaby doing what he does best, while NBA YoungBoy tries on some new guises.
