Bey has proven that she has bars on numerous occasions but the drill stars of Brooklyn have taken a particular liking to her sound and brought it into the exhilarating production. Just a few weeks ago, we heard Fivio Foreign preview a new record sampling Destiny's Child "Say My Name." Now, Rah Swish has flipped Beyonce's iconic 2003 collaboration with Sean Paul.

To kick off the year, Rah Swish slid through this week with his "BabyBoy Freestyle." Sampling Beyonce and Sean Paul's "Baby Boy," Swish puts a drill twist on the record. Rah Swish modernizes the record to fit the drill soundscape as he unleashing menacing mbars directed at the opposition. Check out his new song below.

Quotable Lyrics
