Not sure about the quality of Statik’s production (once again the usual problem for a beat he’s made; nice sample and melody, but drums need something more to really hit hard – and no, I don’t like trap drums), but you can never go wrong with RTJ. With a better beat, easily 5/5. Now their bars are being held back by the beat, of course this is better than a nice beat with shitty verses.
So strange to hear RTJ over such subdued production. El almost sounds bored until his last 8 or so. Mike spazzed out of the gate. Love the hook, though. 3.5 / 5
