desiigner – “thank god I got it”
Late Monday night (April 3), Desiigner dropped two new tracks, “Thank God I Got It” and the Juicy J-produced “Up,” and judging by the cover art of the latter, the G.O.O.D. Music artist must be feeling like the sky is the limit. After the success of “Tiimmy Turner,” he likely has a lot more to be thankful for, which ties into “Thank God I Got It.” Produced by Mitus, the song touches on the gratitude he’s apparently experiencing after all of the opportunities he’s been given. Listen to “Thank God I Got It” above and “Up” below.
