Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as the lead single for the 'Cruel Summer' compilation album, this blockbuster posse cut features verses from Big Sean, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz. The production masterfully chops a vocal sample from Super Beagle's 'Dust a Sound Boy' into an inescapable, menacing hook. It successfully brought the underground Southern trap aesthetic to the forefront of mainstream stadium rap.
