Ronny J and XXXTentacion take the safe road on "Banded Up."

Ronny J and XXXTentacion weren't necessarily looking for trouble. They found it nevertheless. The pair have connected for "Banded Up," the lead single of Ronny J's upcoming OMGRONNY project. Opting for repetition, the repeated refrain of "I stay banded up" feels like a safe decision; if it ain't broke, as they say. Lyrically, this track isn't exactly sowing fertile ground, lined with simple braggadocio like "I'm too rich to kids, I'm like Rich The Kid." While X is capable of stringing together something more lyrically inclined, his performance here is reminiscent of his vintage sound, trading introspection for raw, pornographic fantasy.

As two of Florida's leaders of the new school, one might expect something a little more challenging from the pair. Instead, "Banded Up" errs on the side of caution, and may find little replay value outside of turn-up settings. Still, the combination of XXXTentacion and Ronny J is not an unwelcome one, and the pair can no doubt muster up a little more on their next go-around.

Quotable Lyrics

I just came, she clean it out like Billie Mays 
She got lockjaw, I just put my dick all in her face 
Her pussy hurt, might need a Band-Aid, a pussy Band-Aid
