SIGNING BONUS
This record was definitely one of those joints I ain’t plan to drop anytime soon as the now occupied open verse is probably in one of your favourite rappers DM’s, whoever that may be. However, in juxtaposition with some of the sounds we’ll be letting hit the air waves as we transition into the darkness, I thought there would be no better way to end the summer and transition into the best time of the year than with something a little more ‘Grimm’ in nature.♟️ I had the record stay on ice for a multitude of reasons but initially, I didn’t feel like I had anything to follow up the composition as a whole - this no longer the case. As depicted in the verse, ‘I don’t like to miss…’ but it’s never detrimental when you putting the most shots up. ~ @itzcrooks
