You’re close now. DaBoii raspy voice flows nicely over the summary beat as he relays tales of “big glocks, long clips,” while Yhung T.O. offers shots at dick-riders and fake rappers. They ain’t saying much new here, but it sounds great.Playlists PlacementDo you have a playlist dedicated to smoking blunts? Go ahead and put this on there.
