In Brief

* * * Gangsta Boo, “Both Worlds *69,” Hypnotize Minds/Loud. With more venom than a poisonous snake, this Three 6 Mafia rapper lashes out at chumps and envious friends on her searing second album. The self-assured Memphis rapper only lets her guard down on the Rose Royce-inspired “Love Don’t Live,” an isolated moment of calm in this sonic storm. Everywhere else, Juicy J and DJ Paul supply beats haunting enough to be on the next “Halloween.”
