Skinnyfromthe9's been at the center of controversy ever since his name began to pop off but with each release, he aims to shed the negative press. The rapper returned with his new song, "Go Crazy" this weekend, an upbeat, smooth song with production credits from FrankGotThePack and CVSTRO. The single doesn't necessarily stand-out but it's not something you'd feel the urge to turn off. The auto-tune is turned up while his vocals float over the piano-based production.
The last time we heard from Skinny was in late March after a video emerged of him getting beaten down at a restaurant. Shortly after, the rapper claimed that he was attacked by a "fan" who asked for a picture but instead decided to wrestle with Skinny. He later addressed the incident on his last release, "Love Me Or Hate Me."
Quotable Lyrics
Gotta watch my back ’cause I know that these n**gas hatin'
I ain't trusting bitches, these bitches, they all be playin'
So what you sayin', shorty? You know my name, shorty
Pull up on you right now, beat it out the frame, shorty
