Fivio Foreign and rising rapper Lil Mabu’s latest single has been making the rounds and has received a mixed reaction from fans.
The duo, who joined forces for “Teach Me How To Drill,” recently released a visual treatment for the track. In the song, the rappers pull a bait-and-switch during the use of the n-word.

“Teach me how to drill/ Let me flock, grab the wheel/ I see the opps, n-gga, chill/ Don’t let ’em know we on his heels/ Fuck, did I fuck it up?/ Nah, you good, Mabu, just keep it hush/ Let me pop this Perc’ so I can focus up/ Bring a demon outside with me at night/ They gon’ know who did it when the face white/ Yo, Fivi’, pass me the trigger/ White boy, but you my n-gga,” the pair rap on the first verse, with Fivio stepping in during the use of “n-gga.”
“There’s been so many non having bars lame ass rappers for the last 10 to 12 years with the exception of a few… so when this generation hear some Mediocre bs they think it’s hot ….. in every generation of rap there’s always been a corny ass white rapper that the black people around him hypes up or co sign their bs….. as far as the n word only ninjas will say it’s ok for other races to say it….. us black people will never co sign that shit!!! I don’t care if it’s a white dude who grew up in the hood,” wrote one user.
