Background

Composition

Over flute-driven production, Russ boasts about doing whatever he wants and always winning,[2] and shows contempt for people he considers enemies.[3]

Critical reception

Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX praised the production, commenting it "should be in the conversation for beat of the year", but criticized the lyrics: "Russ assumes the role of unsparing ZOO keeper to all his alleged inferior contemporaries. 'They ain't upholding the code, the industry full of some hoes / They lettin' like anything go / People are shady as fuck / I keep to myself, but I feel the energy though / None of these people are friends to me though' quickly lets listeners know that it's still Russ vs. everyone."[3]
