The drums sound incredible and the entire vibe fits Nardo Wick and his aesthetic perfectly. As for his rapping, he sound focused and as menacing as ever. His flow is impeccable, and if you are already a fan, you are going to be impressed. For those being introduced to Nardo Wick for the first time, this is going to make you a fan. As for Lil Baby, he does his thing as well. In fact, his contributions do a good job of enhancing the song."[3]
