“Grandma was in the A, aunty was in the A, and momma had Triple-A / I wasn’t scared to crash anyone in the way.” Word, Big Sean! The Grammy-nominated rapper returns with a ‘precise’ banger in “Precision”. On “Precision,” produced by FNZ, Teddy Walton, Aaron Bow, Tom Kahre, and Zacari, a soul sample shines in the intro and serves as the basis of the backdrop. Specifically, the record samples the 2005, Three 6 Mafia gem, “Poppin’ My Collar”, which itself samples the 1973, Willie Hutch classic, “Theme of the Mack”.  Besides those old-school vibes, “Precision” is anchored by a hard, knocking beat.  The ferocious sound gives Big Sean ample inspiration – fuel for his rapping fire!

“Shootin’ my shot like, pew-pew, ayy

Hit the red dot like, pew-pew, ayy

Finger on the trigger like, pew-pew-pew-pew, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

…Hittin’ her spot like, pew-pew-pew-pew, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy.”

Throughout “Precision,” his cadence and flow are on autopilot – locked-in and loaded! The bars are memorable whether its “I fuck her to sleep then I light up the street, got her screamin’ like Billie Jean for real” (verse one) or his ‘epiphany’ “Baby, I’m lovin’ the taste, I think I’m ready for kids / She said, well, then stop tryna cum in her face / Mm, that make sense” (verse two). Woo! While Big Sean doesn’t change or flip the game on its side with “Precision,” he sounds invested – on top of his game – on this single deep into his career. “Precision”,  hence, is #WINNING.
