The track features Uzi rapping for almost three minutes straight over G Herbo’s “Gangway” beat, essentially updating fans about his status. (He even talks about the $3 million in taxes he owes.) With the release of the track, Uzi wiped his IG clean, and the only thing featured is the single’s cover.
