TIA: Young Thug, J. Cole and Travis Scott
get together for the first time on
"The London” and continue their new creative
partnership.
TIA: “The London” is produced by T-Minus
and is the first single from Thugger’s upcoming
album, ‘GØŁDMØÜFDÖG.’
TIA: Cole kicks off the cut with a shout out
to Young Thug himself.
TIA: Although Thugger joined Cole on his 2018
KOD tour, some fans found it surprising
something J. Cole is very aware of.
[COLE] And then I heard from Ib, he was like
‘You know people are kinda bugging out that
you took Thug.’
Either they hate it or they love it they’re
like ‘Oh it’s genius boom, boom, boom.
But really it’s like yo, the niggas is dope.
TIA: But they’re doubling down.
J.Cole reportedly will executive produce ‘GØŁDMØÜFDÖG.'
TIA: As for why, well Jermaine thinks Young
Thug is unique.
[COLE] How you put words together, and you
know pockets and you know flows and you know
the things he’s doing with his voice, the
dude is a genius.
TIA: Next up, Cole raps about his recent string
of lauded features.
TIA: From his guest verse on 21 Savage’s
“A Lot,” to his most recent collaboration
with Ty Dolla $ign on “Purple Emoji,”
J. Cole has been dropping features to great effect.
TIA: Those lines may also include a slick
nod to “Pick Up The Phone,” the Travis Scott,
Young Thug and Quavo collab that was the 11th
track on Travis’s 2016 effort,
'Birds the Trap Sing McKnight.’
TIA: Next up on the chorus, La Flame hits
us with a couple familiar bars.
TIA: Keen ears will remember that Trav rapped
something similar on the chorus of 2 Chainz’
2017 single, “4AM.”
TIA: And standing on money to be taller is
something we’ve heard Lil Uzi Vert rap about too,
most notably on his April single “Sanguine
Paradise.”
TIA: Thugger’s verse opens with lyrics that
he teased at Rolling Loud Miami ahead of the
song’s release by shouting out his Atlanta
hometown while flexing his ability to move weight.
TIA: To close out the track, Thug hits his
signature quick flow to boast of his successful career.
TIA: Since the track’s release, the song
has jumped to the top of the Genius songs chart,
and fans are loving their favorites
teaming up for a summer collab.
TIA: I’m Tia with Genius News bringing you
the meaning and the knowledge behind the music.
