NoCap has been buzzing over the past year specifically, but unfortunately, in his rise to fame, a few legal issues have presented themselves as setbacks. Thankfully, he actually was released in May in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It feels like he's been slowly cooking up, though quiet in his approach but today, he pulled the curtain back on his latest track, "Count A Million" ft. Lil Uzi Vert. The essence of gospel music is heard in NoCap's vocals as he reflects on the pain and appreciates the lessons learned. Uzi rids himself of the haute-couture talk on this one as he slides through with a pretty lengthy verse detailing the pain and realities of growing up in Philadelphia.
Check out NoCap & Lil Uzi Vert's new track below.
Quotable Lyrics
Callin' on the Lord like I don't talk to the devil (Sometimes)
Every time I lose somebody, you know that it's enough time
I sit back, take a pill and think about the good times
Steppin' on these n***as for my pain
Steppin' on these n***as for my pain
Better bulletproof your umbrella,
'Cause we known to make it rain
