At first, Dino Btw wasn’t sure how to make bounce, a subgenre of New Orleans dance music made for ass-shaking. She wanted to rap through the entire track, but there’s more to bounce than just bars: It’s the chants, the samples, the way the fast-paced beat ramps up as the song keeps going. That’s not a problem for the artist anymore. She’s one of the signature rappers of the style, even making a couple of appearances on Megan Thee Stallion’s Something For Thee Hotties mixtape last year. Her latest single is fun as hell. Over a cranked-up version of Lumidee’s “Never Leave You (Uh Oh)” she spits a verse about using dudes for her own good time whether they’re taken or not. About halfway through the track she drops the verse, letting the pummeling percussion and DJ scratches breathe for a second until her hyped-up, raunchy chants signal it’s time to get sweaty, bend your knees, and shake something.
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.
