Yungeen Ace Gang Nem

Instrumentally, “Gang Nem” is a minimal trap cut with deep, submerged bass and very little melody from Yungeen and Gee. It’s mostly built around the drum pattern, recurring bells, and both MCs’ flows. It’s an easily replicable sound, but it also really spotlights the rapper on the track more emphatically than ever. Still, there are a few other elements that support the song a bit more directly. Some creepy synths hang softly in the song’s atmosphere, and occasional hits of low piano notes emphasize its menacing nature.

As far as flows, both Yungeen Ace and EST Gee deliver on-par performances with their consistent output. Ace’s flow is a tad nondescript, in the sense that you can’t match it as easily to a region or specific style. He makes sure to switch it around from the verse to the chorus to not make the song feel more repetitive. Also, he ramps up his performance energy as his verse goes on, eventually slowing down to the chorus’s laidback approach.

EST Gee represents a true Memphis sound with his approach to flow and delivery. His drawl is really noticeable on the track and gives his bars an added sense of personality and character. Still, his faster but more consistent flow in comparison to Ace makes for a compelling pairing. However, Gee’s pen is the star of the show. Furthermore, he has a unique quality of phrasing and framing these street tales that set him apart from the usual punchlines and turns of phrase.

Lyrics

[Intro: Yungeen Ace]
Ayy, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Yungeen Ace]
Where is the nigga to vouch for me? That nigga is dead as dead
I gotta watch for somethin’ in this mind, ’cause I ain’t tryna go to feds
I told the bitches to close her leg, ’cause I just want the head
I can’t fall for none of these bitches, I’m tryna stay ahead

[Verse 1: Yungeen Ace]
Huh-uh, I was on the block with a G-lock (G-lock)
You can tell the police, all his guns pop (Uh-uh)
Got the streets on fire, in a headlock (A headlock)
Run them niggas down, give ’em head scars (Uh-uh)
Gave this bitch some bread, so she can get the low (Send the low)
Load up all the sticks, nigga, it’s time to go (It’s time to slide)
You call him granny, the way he servin’ bowls (Servin’ bowls)
Ayy, he just ‘llowed the wrist, he steady on the stove (Baow)
Block ’em, this that loud sound from this Drac’, nigga (Skrrt, skrrt)
Left a nigga dead on his face, nigga (Hot, hot)
Ask him how I feel when that heat hit him (Baow, baow)
Call me grave-diggers, out your feet, niggas (Feet, nigga)
Ayy, shots what he love, he sent the chase, nigga
Like to get ’em close, get ’em to face niggas (Bang)
Uh, Navy sittin’ bitches, had to train them (Had to train them)
Yeah, she with them niggas, but that’s gang ‘nem (That’s gang ‘nem)

[Chorus: Yungeen Ace]
Where is the nigga to vouch for me? That nigga is dead as dead
I gotta watch for somethin’ in this mind, ’cause I ain’t tryna go to feds
I told the bitches to close her leg, ’cause I just want the head
I can’t fall for none of these bitches, I’m tryna stay ahead

[Verse 2: EST Gee]
Yeah, where that money be, take away my pain, feel like it’s numbin’ me
For the streets, he ain’t nothin’ like me if he don’t dump this yeek
What are we? I damn near passed out, another hundred Gs
Hope he don’t see snake inside my face and think it’s somethin’ sweet
Sweep the house, we grab the biggest dolls, stood over, punished me
Big accounts, so big to listen up, they got the plug piece
For the chase, better not turn away the day you see my face
My face, you went to heaven gates, your folks’ll bring you, tell ’em “Wait”
Better days, even the devil pray he send the blick to hang
Workin’ for that [?], made the stars, we was all at war
We all know who wasn’t and who was, get inside them cars
Get until they feelings gone, seen them sittin’ from the guard, yeah

[Chorus: Yungeen Ace]
Where is the nigga to vouch for me? That nigga is dead as dead
I gotta watch for somethin’ in this mind, ’cause I ain’t tryna go to feds
I told the bitches to close her leg, ’cause I just want the head
I can’t fall for none of these bitches, I’m tryna stay ahead
