French Montana officially came through to deliver his new album CB5, a nineteen-track project that features guest appearances from Jack Harlow, Max B, Jim Jones, Pop Smoke, Benny The Butcher, Lil Durk, Curren$y, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, A$AP Rocky, and more. While there is plenty to unpack from the Coke Boy rapper’s latest, it’s hard to resist the mystique of an A$AP Rocky feature, if only because they’re a scarcity in this age of oversaturation. As such, consider spending a bit of time with “Corner,” the latest collaboration from French, Rocky, and Zak on the chorus.
Off the bat, Zak’s hazy vocals set a tone over the atmospheric banger, which feels more restrained than what you might expect from French these days. For the most part, the vibe is steered by a prominent bassline, over which French Montana kicks off some solid opening bars. “Check it, dot him like a leopard, on the corner smell aromas like a shepherd,” he raps. “Watching Narcos or them narcos, brain-fried / if I make my bed, I’ma sleep in it — king size.” Rocky slides in to close things out, his presence a welcome addition as he spits a bevy of slick flows — though let’s be honest, we could have used a little more from the elusive emcee.
French Montana – Corner (ft. A$AP Rocky & Zak)
[Intro: Zak]
Said the best times waiting round the corner
That’s murder on the corner
Seen these niggas turning bad
Skinny nigga pushing Lambs
[Chorus: Zak & French Montana]
I said it’s real niggas gone, take a stand
Murder for that dollar, understand
Lately, niggas talking down, swear it made me
Plus I know these niggas shady
Mama said no trust no ladies
When I hit the drug, it save me
Tryna leave a young nigga on the corner
Tryna drink my demons ‘way ’til the morning
You ain’t seen nothing like it
Swear to God you ain’t seen nothing like it
Tryna leave me skinny, yeah, you know it
Murder on the corner (Montana, ayy)
[Verse 1: French Montana]
Check it, dot ’em like a leopard
On the corner, smell aroma like a shepherd
Watching Narcos or them narcos
Brain fried, if I make my bed, I’ma sleep in it
King size, French tried to franchise
Before the machine, we did it handy
Bitches fronted on they panties now they jerk me like the Grammy’s
Hundred chains like TLC chilly
On that Wayne, milli’ after milli’
With a bitch like Keisha from Belly
I pray to God we live a thousand years
And if I hurt you, we’ll drink Ciroc for your tears
Stunting on the stunners smoking out the whips
Carbon in the front, skrrt on the bridge to Harlem
You stepped on carpet, the flag
We sharpen the swag
Ten racks for the marble slab
Pool kitchen sink, six layer pink
Bump Aretha Franklin, bitch like Jada Pinkett, hah
[Chorus: Zak]
I said it’s real niggas gone, take a stand
Murder for that dollar, understand
Lately, niggas talking down, swear it made me
Plus I know these niggas shady
Mama said no trust no ladies
When I hit the drug, it save me
Tryna leave a young nigga on the corner
Tryna drink my demons ‘way ’til the morning
You ain’t seen nothing like it
Swear to God you ain’t seen nothing like it
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Uh (Uh)
It’s the city where the skinny niggas rot, yep
That same city, you might see me with my slob, yep
Buck fiddy to your chiddy, you get prom-cut
Primetime, fuck, fuck it, your time’s up
That’s what ma said, they get upset
They coming at me indirect, live in effect
They wanna see me in the flesh, boy, take your best shot
Got something rip through your vest, aim for your head
Won’t break a sweat
[Chorus: Zak]
I said it’s real niggas gone, take a stand
Murder for that dollar, understand
Lately, niggas talking down, swear it made me
Plus I know these niggas shady
Mama said no trust no ladies
When I hit the drug, it save me
Tryna leave a young nigga on the corner
Tryna drink my demons ‘way ’til the morning
You ain’t seen nothing like it
Swear to God you ain’t seen nothing like it
Tryna leave me skinny, yeah, you know it
Murder on the corner
