We already know Lucky Daye to be among the smoothest r'n'b singers out right now, a prominent voice in the new-age r'n'b landscape. Today, he's upping the ante with a collaboration that features Lil Durk, bridging the gap between hip-hop and r'n'b succinctly.
With a bubbling, musically-lush and somewhat groovy beat produced by the incomparable D'Mile (who makes an appearance on our Black Future Month feature, 20 Hip-Hop Producers Forging The Sound Of Tomorrow), Lucky Daye gets his crooning on, using addictive and earworm-esque melodies to ensure this song will be stuck in your head long after you stop listening. And just when you think this song can't get any better, enter, Lil Durk. The OTF leader perfectly finds his pocket for this collab, which may not be in his usual wheelhouse, but is refreshing to hear nonetheless. And, apparently, we shouldn't be too surprised about this collab, as Daye tweeted a year ago that Durk was his favorite rapper. He proceeded to quote that tweet a couple of days ago, foreshadowing what was to arrive today.
Take a listen and let us know if you're as hype about this collaboration as we are. Lucky also just announced the release date for his next album, Candy Drip, slated to drop on March 10.
Quotable Lyrics
They know don’t be wastin’ my time
Double cup ice, I ain’t drinkin’ no wine
Bitches I fuck only smoke weed, no lime
Bitches I fuck from the back, only in the spine
Told me she take my case, she a Gemini
She got a fatty
I don’t understand why them niggas get jealous
Hundred K cash in the store ’cause I let her
- Durkio
