Lupe Fiasco and Ty Dolla $ign have proved to be a, if unlikely, songwriting team. Ty appears on Lupe's underrated crossover single "Next To It," as well as supplying uncredited vocals to Tetsuo & Youth's "Deliver." With the release of the long-awaited DROGAS Light, Ty makes two appearances, the high-BPM "NGL," and the soulful trudge of "Kill."

The latter track features a stacked harmony from Ty on the hook, and rides out its heavy groove for a good 7 minutes as he celebrates the strip club experience. Ty also provides a verse in his distinct West Coast cadence, with Lupe brings a casual swagger on his verse, proving he's more versatile than he may let on. It's not until the tail end of the track that Victoria Monet has her moment, taking over for both a hook and a verse, singing from a stripper's perspective: "Just another Saturday night / Showtime, I deserve these lights / 'Cause I work hard for what I get / Just so I can give my ten percent."

Quotable Lyrics:
My nigga, if these poles could talk
If the stage grew another pole
Got up and walked
Gotta kill these dollars, it can't be an assault
Need your real love, mama
You can't be in my thoughts
