On “Get Money,” Ot7Quanny raps like he’s got something better to do. It’s easy to imagine the rapper slouched over, delivering every word with his hand on his chin. You would think that since he seems so bored, he would be rapping about relatively meaningless things, but he actually delivers a nonstop burst of threats and menacing tough talk. “I know old niggas shootin’ shit, Boris Diaw,” he raps, and his vocals contort as he speaks. “We got more fuckin’ guns in this trunk than T.I.” The track is part of a recent wave of Philly rap that’s influenced by Chicago drill in its approach, but is stylistically developing something new.
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.
