“That thin line between love and hate is often big and bold after a breakup. This flow takes gloating to a new level post breakup. An anthem for those flourishing when their exes flounder. The horns in the melody add to the flavor of winning and the vocals capture the emotion of prideful disdain.”

These qualities define both people and music and when you possess all three, you are bound to agitate those who either fear or envy you. This track by J4 Da Dawg is such a song.
