The summertime banger appropriately borrows the hook from DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s “Summertime,” and features Joe interpolating a section of Juelz Santana‘s early-aughts classic “Dipset (Santana’s Town).”
“Got a dope connection, and a coke connection/ We expose and press/ You have no protection,” Joe raps, with the same phrasing Juelz uses to discuss his “whole selection” and “ho collection” on his track.

Remy uses the beginning of her verse to discuss the 2007 shooting that got her sentenced to eight years in prison.
She spits: “They say I shot my friend over a band — and?/ Imagine what I do to a bitch that I can’t stand.” Those bars have resulted in some online backlash.

“Breaking news: Fat Joe be dropping a[n] album in August, too, so put me in that list of pioneers and legends and icons,” he shared.
