The five-minute song includes a couple of verses from Swae, who shines on the hook. However, fans have been raving about Jack Harlow's verse, during which he speaks about Kendrick Lamar "liking" one of his rap videos on Twitter, theorizing that he possibly related to Jack's hustle.
Listen to the new single below and let us know what you think.
Quotable Lyrics:
I used to burn CDs and pass 'em around
I used to email the venues and ask 'em if I could be opening act for the rappers that's passin' through town
I used to be the one kids in my city was laughin' about
I used to envision everything happening now
I used to ride the bus and listen to Kendrick Lamar
He just liked the video that I made back when I started to study his bars
I'd like to think that he probably related as someone that's come so far
As someone that wanted it badly, then went and got it and turned to a star
