Florida has been a key player in the hip-hop game for almost a decade now, and rising star PlayThatBoiZay is no exception to this rule. His aggressive and metal-influenced delivery and sound is propelling the legacies of fellow Floridians Ski Mask the Slump God and XXXTENTACION, and has been picked up in a high-profile way by frequent collaborator Denzel Curry. He makes an appearance on the newly released remix of Zay’s track “90s Baby” along with L.A. rapper ICECOLDBISHOP, and the results are unsurprisingly explosive. It’s accompanied by a whip-skirting music video and another new Zay track, “Lil Jit,” was released in tandem.
The remix keeps the original track’s rage instrumental, rooted in fuzzy and reverb-heavy saw synths that provide an atmosphere instead of a catchy melody. It’s a perfect backdrop for the harder-hitting drums that truly propel the track, and rage is also a formula that Zay seems quite comfortable inhabiting. It might not be as in-your-face or high-octane as his Denzel Curry collab “P.A.T.,” or when compared to his more popular songs like “SWAMP,” but it places more emphasis on Zay’s hedonistic chorus detailing drug-addled delusion and Glocks that “ain’t got no safety.”
Denzel keeps the hedonism going with a verse full of crazy flows and rhymes. He talks about new swag, feeling like Hades in the heat of both Miami and the streets, strumming quick like a ukulele, and urges enemies to stick to the topic of “f**k you, pay me.” Unsurprisingly, Denzel makes for the track’s lyrical highlight. The vocal highlight, however, is easily ICECOLDBISHOP’s raspy and high-pitched voice. Despite the jump in octaves, the MC is still able to come off murderous and dominant.
PlayThatBoiZay – 90s Baby (remix) (ft. Denzel Curry & ICECOLDBISHOP) (prod. Redda)
[Intro]
What? (Redda)
Yo
Eyo
Ayy, it yo proud BoiZay (yuh)
[Verse 1]
I’m a hard 90’s baby
First gun got a nigga showing my cousin .380
All my niggas tweakin’ off the drugs, we going crazy
Pray the gangs, they say if I know these Glocks ain’t got no safety
My old boy was finessed, he got deported back to Haiti
Sold the streets that raised me
Yeah this street shit payed me, was out there thuggin’ daily
Ballin’ like Tom Brady, might pull up in Mercedes
Niggas actin’ shady, so I’m like “fuck you, pay me”
Yo bitch wanna date me, but I don’t want yo lady
Niggas talkin’ flakey, but see me, wanna shake me
Shawty say I’m wavy, I’m saucin’, I got gravy
Salt me like I’m tasty, then rob me cause’ I’m lazy
Hustle Man like Tracy, I’m varsity, you JV
I’m a G-O-A-T, like Koby with the deep three
Niggas stop playin’ bewe, so lately you don’t see me
Our rows gettin’ blue cheese, young paperboy, no loose leaf
[Outro]
I’m a hard 90’s baby
First gun got a nigga showin’ my cousin .380
All my niggas tweakin’ off the drugs, we going crazy
Pray the gangs, they say if I know these Glocks ain’t’ got no safety
My old boy was finessed, he got deported back to Haiti
Sold the streets that raised me
Yeah this street shit payed me, was out there thuggin’ daily
Ballin’ like Tom Brady
Might pull up in Mercedes
Niggas actin’ shady, so I’m like “fuck you, pay me”
