Future continues to push his “HNDRXX” album, despite already achieving chart-topping success.

With Detail and Go Grizzly on production, this island influenced trap beat gives Future and Minaj a platform to do what they do best produce hits. I am usually not a fan of Minaj singing, I prefer when she raps but on this track it harmonises effortlessly.

The Benny Boom directed visual is set in Miami and features Minaj sporting an assortment of extravagant outfits and Future vibing against a summer backdrop. The video has amassed nearly 10 million views in only 3 days and it’s currently trending on YouTube.

Minaj reminds us she doesn’t have any competition and shuts down claims she lost the rap beef with Remy Ma, “I never lose nothing but, damn, I done had it. I ain’t never strike out, they can’t average what I batted”.

With two of hip-hop biggest artists on one track with a melodic chorus, I can see it being another hit to add to their already impressive resumes.
