The Single Notez :

“bad to the bone” runs a mere 2:22

Love the aggressive beat and skeletal backdrop; hearkens back to the aughts where skeletal productions were all the rage

Love the personality exhibited – bbno$ bring that attitude without ever really breaking a sweat

Unexpected but highly successful production switch (temporary) brings contrast, keeping things fresh

A fun, novel cut; the gimmickry from the vocals and the production suits this particular cut

The flow is infectious, even if the rhymes themselves are absolutely ridiculous 

Lacks transcendence, though transcendence isn’t really expected from a rap song named “bad to the bone”

Memorable lyric:

“Yeah, I’m ba-a-a-ad to the bone
I ain’t sure what you been told
Yeah, I’m ma-a-a-ad, you a clone
Sussy boy don't even have a sound of his own
I’m a da-a-a-ad, you’re disowned
I’m a fire hazard makin’ hits from my home
I’m a ta-a-a-ad bit broke
​bbno$ means baby no stones (Woah).”

In Closing: Bbno$ and lentra deliver an absolutely ridiculously but utterly irresistible, short and sweet rap single with “bad to the bone.”
