The Detroit rapper’s debut album aims for a mix of transparency and commercial ambition, but he struggles to hold his own amid so much high-stakes production.

Activated is motivational trap galore from one of Hip-Hop’s most talented rising stars.

Exclaim!
He's been a robber on the run and an inmate, and now he's releasing an album with guest spots by Lil Yachty and Jeezy. So it's a dire disappointment to not hear Detroit's Tee Grizzley detail more of that compelling life experience on his debut studio album, Activated.

The Ratings Game
There’s always that one dude in the industry I feel brings ‘the real’ every single time they rap; Tee Grizzley is that guy for me.

The Young Folks
We’ll have to see, but I’m more excited for the future prospects rather than the product we were just given. Time will tell if he is able to capitalize on his full potential.

Rap & Hip-Hop Amino
Tee Grizzley comes back with his classic piano base in the background. Sort of reminding you of Meek Mill. He delivers an aggressive flow but it’s not really enough to stand out against counterparts that he’s compared to. Overall decent track, depends on taste.

The new Tee Grizzley album, while not being a dope as My Moment, was not disappointing to this listener. In fact, this album was refreshing.

Huskii Boi
Tee Grizzley’s debut album “Activated” is a near perfect, lifestyle album.
-
Living Life Fearless
While Activated is still full of bangers and hard-hitting rhymes, it at times feels like he trying to escape his image as a ‘street level’ rapper and tap into more commercial success – which is understandable, but it’s not when he’s at his best.
-
AV Club
Tee Grizzley takes a bold step forward with Activated. Where My Moment chronicled his life through his parole, Activated follows his breakout year. Grizzley flaunts his success
-
Brooklyn Vegan
Activated is full of bangers that rival any handful of songs you might hear on Hot 97, and it’s a real fun record. If it does in fact help make him famous, though, I hope he can bring some more of the My Moment style to his next record.
-
Stupid Dope
The new album finds Tee Grizzley serving up an in-depth and lyrically sound effort, cooking up some solid new material along the way.
