Let me find out you thought this was EPMD!

CeeFineAss ft. MoneyBagg Yo - Payback 2.0
(From Welcome To My City album; 2020/YouTube; 2021)



Very rare modern instance of a remix ya host prefers to the original. Nothing to do with the presence of MoneyBagg Yo, everything to do with the More Ounce To The Bounce pressure lettin' Miss Cee go full 69th Ward Ceebie.

(Actually, that's a tad unfair to MoneyBagg Yo since "bring your luggage and your phone but no feelings in here" is a great line on the hotel, motel, Holiday Inn tip.)

Drums will always improve a song.

Also, I didn't realise Payback was a 2018 song which got a video in 2020.

Also × 2, I nominate Roll Out as the official B-side to this.

Kinda glossed over the remix as the production on first listen was a bit too futuristic N.O. bounce for my ears, and I'm generally not checking for Moneybagg Yo.

Thoughts on the EP's title track? Video was released 2 days ago.

"Welcome to the city where them n****z slingin' iron, people die
But we celebrate it with a second line"

Yeah, that one definitely deserves to be a single.

I know I always post this but god how I miss Mouse on da Track.

Mouse's new single Knees Like Megan is a step back in the right direction.

Mouse signed back with Trill Ent????
