In a surprising turn of events, A$AP Relli finds himself in the crosshairs of Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical prowess on Playboi Carti’s much-anticipated album, MUSIC. After a prolonged release delay that saw the album drop nearly seven hours later than initially promised, fans were treated to a project brimming with intricate bars and notable features.
Among the standout contributions is Kendrick’s verse on “GOOD CREDIT,” where he directly addresses Relli, who recently made headlines for testifying in the A$AP Rocky case. Lamar leaves no room for ambiguity as he references Relli’s controversial actions, critiquing him with sharp lines that draw a clear connection to the notion of “snitching.” His line, “Belly on chain go big, white gold link fall on the belly/The emerald cuff for hers and his, that bitch on point like A$AP Relli,” serves as a bold statement, solidifying Lamar’s stance in this ongoing narrative.
Playboi Carti’s performance throughout MUSIC has also garnered praise, with “GOOD CREDIT” exemplifying the chemistry between the two artists. Kendrick’s presence is felt not only on this track but also on others like “MOJO JOJO” and “BACKD00R,” featuring SZA. With the album now out, listeners are diving deep into its layers, eager to unpack the nuances and themes presented.
As the buzz continues to build around MUSIC, it’s clear that Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “GOOD CREDIT” adds a compelling layer to the conversation, making this release a must-listen for hip hop enthusiasts.
