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.”
