Which version do you prefer, "Just Wanna Rock," or Dave East's new remix?

When Lil Uzi Vert dropped off "Just Wanna Rock" back in 2022, they likely didn't anticipate it would gain the mass momentum that it since has. From Beyoncé borrowing the choreography during the opening night of her RENAISSANCE World Tour to now, Dave East sharing a remix, it's safe to say the single is a certified hit. The New Yorker's version of the popular song arrived on Monday (May 22), along with a feature from Nino Man and an accompanying music video that finds the duo partying with friends.

East kicks things off on the first verse, offering up rhymes like "Bitch in her feelings I told her I'm done, no way I could break up and leave / I know I'm a target, them n*ggas ain't aimin' at you bruh they aimin' at me," and "I'm everything that I've been claiming to be / Nothin' but scammers and gangsters with me." For his part, Nino also impresses with his lyricism later on in "I Wanna Rocc (EASTMIX)."

The single is certainly not the first to arrive from the east coast icon this year. He's been steadily dropping off both solo and collaborative efforts such as "Thiccer Than Water" with Uncle Murda, "Grew Up in Hell" alongside Quany Gz, and back in March, "Above Water" all by himself. More recently, East revealed that he's working on a gym-inspired album alongside Jim Jones, Fabolous, and Maino, much to fans' excitement.

Quotable Lyrics:

Bitch in her feelings I told her I'm done, no way I could break up and leave
I know I'm a target, them n*ggas ain't aimin' at you bruh they aimin' at me
I'm everything that I've been claiming to be
Nothin' but scammers and gangsters with me
