Mans dropped a great debut album then said “ima grab this nokia cellphone to record my vocals through, and ima not rap rap anymore” lmfao

i'm sure the album will be great but yeah this sounds like a weak single to me tbh
gonna wait to hear it in full tho

didn't he say that he won't drop this album until it sounds close to aquemini level? and then he puts some lazy sounding s*** like this on there?
and people also said that lil uzi is on the album? come on bro

niggas gotta stop doing this, they're setting themselves up when they say these things.

This is something I've noticed TDE been doing lately.

First single is a generic sounding trap song probably to try and drive sales up. But the actual albums sound nothing like it.

Example, Jay Rock's first single was Win (or King's Dead but that was already on BP Soundtrack)

Meanwhile on the album you had songs like this:

It's even more obvious with Reason.

First single:

Actual album:

redemption is not a good example to use with this and you know that lmao.

niggas been criticizing that album for years because of the sound of that album overall.

ngl i like those singles and they sound more exciting and energetic than this zay single
and we already heard zay do this type of sound compared to jay rock with win
new baby keem single sounds more exciting

Niggas was flaming the s*** out of both those singles when they first dropped. People still don't like Win.

Also we don't know what the final song will even sound like, that snippet could be old.

This Friday**

How is it not? Win doesn't really sound like anything else on that album. It's the "radio single" as they used to call it. Redemption isn't really a radio album tho.

man i liked a lot one of my most listened to on TST

"Freaky b**** wanna fist but my wrist tired"

ya cause they didn't want someone who is known for making hard music go commercial but we already heard zay do this type of sound i wouldn't mind a "generic" single if it actually sounded a little better lol

So you gonna leave out Tap Out, Troopers, Knock It Off, and Rotation? Hell, they tried to push a remix of Rotation lol.

nah redemption pretty radio man

esp compared to his last 2

true

still don't think Win represents that album as a whole though

yes tde is known for making albums where every song sounds different
but seeing that lil uzi is on the album and the single sounding like this is a red flag for me lol

fair

i still agree with ur main thing tho TDE wants to push radio s*** first that doesnt really represent the album as a whole

but i f/w cold piece of work or whatever its called now

hope we get something on the level of smile tho this album now thats a mf banger

from the garden would've been it but the new version just isnt as good

someone from that leak site gotta leak from the garden OG fr

Man we better get a date or something at the very least.

Knowing TDE they'll just drop the video and dip with no album news though. Look how they did SZA

Man...Win was such a completely left field single from Jay Rock I sometimes forget that it was on Redemption

It sounded like a Drake - Trophies ripoff. And there was a line that said "album coming soon" and then the song was on the album.. hate that

boi-1da really said let me remake this drake beat and send it lol
jay rock sounds good on that song tho and the kendrick adlibs are fun

Yeah I love Kendrick's adlibs

But I'm sure Jay Rock didn't think about the song much and then the label thought it would be a smash for some reason and made it his lead single

it did pretty well tbh.

wait why are people complaining? that snippet sounds fire as f*** lmao esp w those memphis chopped vox in the back
