This isn't a beat that sits in the background; it's a lead character. It's got the melodic complexity and emotional depth that Young Thug can effortlessly navigate, the stripped-down, punchy framework DaBaby thrives on, and the menacing undercurrent that perfectly complements 21 Savage's cold delivery.
