Composition
Overview
Tallie Spencer of HotNewHipHop stated how the project sees the duo step into a bigger spotlight, highlighting how the project leans more towards "dark, atmospheric production and a new wave of underground rap energy." Spencer also writes how the mixtape is rooted in the new wave of internet-era sound, since the project features "moody beats, distorted textures, and a mix of melodic and aggressive delivery". The purpose of the project is to be raw. Spencer later ends the review by saying how the feature list helps expand the reach of a newer and deeper audience.[5]
Stereo Williams of Okayplayer felt the same way as Spencer; he wrote how the project embraces "sinister, moody production and a new surge of underground rap energy." While feeling very throwback to sounds like "dark beats, murky textures and a mix of melodic and aggressive delivery."[6] Oba Awolowo of Pitchfork wrote how the project is "full of high-energy link-ups and an eclectic beat palette."But he also wrote how the 18-track project is a little too much and makes the project feel overstuffed.[7]
Songs
Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork wrote that "Trashcan" is the "filthiest" song on Uy Scuti Bøyz. Pierre also writes how the "wobbly" "Jøtp" sees Tezzus get into his Barter 6 bag while Diamond* "floats like a Drip Season 3 Gunna over the ragey plugg of “Chill Øut.” On "Duality", as the track's name suggests, Tezzus brings his rowdiness while Diamond* brings his realism.[8] Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop wrote how the name fits the song very well, writing how the first half, by Diamond*, is more subdued, while the second half, by Tezzus, is more chaotic and wild.[2] Overall, he praises the track by saying how "it is a cool track and one that will get new fans hooked."[2] On "Baby," Antonio Johri of Complex wrote how Yung Fazo brings a "mainstream-ready melodic edge" to the track.[9]
Oba Awolowo of Pitchfork felt the same as Pierre, with him writing how "Duality" sees Diamond* "skate through" the first half with his AutoTuned vocals while Tezzus roars through the second with coarse vocals and foul-mouthed bars.[7] Awolowo also wrote how tracks "Ew" and "Step Child" feature production where the "lightning-fast" hi-hats and punchy snares rattle atop "Zaytoven-flared piano stabs", cushioning MIDI synth-strings and sirens. Awolowo compares the sound to that of Thug's So Much Fun era.[7] "Ice Øn" sees Tezzus and Diamond* showcase their sensual sides while "Løve Løst" and "I'm An Artist" capture ingenuity.[7]
Critical reception
Pitchfork highlighted the duo's chemistry and the diversity of the project's sound and feature list.[8][4] Oba Awolowo of Pitchfork rated the mixtape 6.4 out of 10, highlighting the chemistry between both artists, but also wrote how it is not used enough. Awolowo also praised the mixtape's music production, saying how energetic, chaotic, and diverse it is. Despite praising the project, he felt it had too many features and was overall more like a compilation tape than an actual project. Awolowo concludes the review, saying that while the project has its good moments, it lacks a real identity and feels incomplete.[7] Additionally, Dimas Sanfiorenzo of Complex labeled UY Scuti Bøyz as one of the best rap albums of 2026 so far.[10]
