Saweetie's new EP High Maintenance showcases the Bay Area rapper's versatility. "B.A.N." shows off some of her most ferocious bars, while "Agua" is hypnotic late night sing-rap. One of the best cuts on the project is "Good Good," a song that does a good job of splitting the difference between Saweetie's various strengths. The beat features ring-tone-like synth sounds, setting the rapper up for an incredibly catchy, melodic hook that has the makings of a hit. On the verses, she's stylish in her delivery, but never short on narrative, as she weaves together engaging stories of phone-tag relationships.
High Maintenance also features Saweetie's breakthrough single "ICY GRL," which is coming up on 5 million SoundCloud plays. You can listen to the full project here. Make sure to check out her stylish new vertical video for "B.A.N." as well.
Quotable Lyrics:
Got me scrollin' through my phone,
Hit your name, send that pin
When you see them grey dots
Then you know what's happenin'
He just asked me where I'm at
I just sent my location
Better get my ass an Uber
Get me to your destination
Why you blowin' up my phone?
Boy, I said I'm pullin' up
Unlock your door
I'm walkin' in a lil' tipsy from the club
You've been talkin' shit all week
Now I'm 'bout to see what's up
