On “Hate My Ex,” Michigan rapper/singer Coach Joey moves past a breakup in the most vindictive way possible—blasting every annoying thing about his ex to his SoundCloud followers. What separates “Hate My Ex” from other break-up songs is the specifics. K Camp accused his lover of being a gold-digger on “Cut Her Off,” and Kodak Black went off on a clingy partner on “Skrt.” But on this track, Joey rattles off his ex’s imperfections like he’s reading her resume. She’s broke, bowlegged, steals Starbucks Wi-Fi, chases clout, and wears dirty jeans. According to Joey, she tried to put him on ice after he told her how he felt, but she didn’t have the money to do it. By relishing in hurt feelings, Coach Joey creates a guilty pleasure that manages to make you laugh in spite of its toxicity.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
