Chris Rivers comes through with his latest record, "You're Lonely."

Chris Rivers hasn't skipped a week since he kicked off his "Barz Day Wednesday" series. Each week, the rapper's dropped off a new freestyle -- typically over popular instrumentals -- and flexed his musicality. He's previously went in on production from A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Big Sean and other recognizable hip hop acts. In light of the release of Drake's Scorpion, Chris Rivers comes through with a little freestyle over Drake's "I'm Upset."

Chris Rivers returns with another entry in his "Barz Day Wednesday" series with a new freestyle called, "You're Lonely." The rapper tackles the Oogie Mane produced Drake single, "I'm Upset" and not only showcases his versatility as an emcee but also, his melodic side. On this particular record, Rivers speaks on the toxicity of people who seek love in order to distract them from feeling lonely. It's another excellent effort from Chris Rivers.

What beat do you want to hear him tackle next week? Sound off in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
I need help, lost my way to find me self
You got Daddy issues and I know this 'cause your mommy tell
Dropped this ass like literally drop that ass from the conversation
I need concentration, not these complications
I know you feel low and you compensatin'
