DJ Snake & Sheck Wes, Enzo | Track Review

DJ Snake assembles a star-studded cast of rappers (Sheck Wes, Offset, 21 Savage and Gucci Mane) for a good old-fashioned trap banger, “Enzo.”  

DJ Snake is back y’all! He returns with a star-studded banger, “Enzo” that enlists Sheck Wes as the primary featured artist, with appearances by Offset, 21 Savage, and Gucci Mane.  With Snake being the main attraction, the production is on-point – sleek synths, drum programming idiomatic of hip-hop, and a heaping dose of swagger. Besides the DJ, “Enzo” is produced by Yung Lunchbox and Sickdrumz.

Moving beyond DJ Snake, Sheck Wes is responsible for the simple but infectious chorus: “I need a Benzo, a Benzo / I need a Rari, not Lambo / I need a Rari, not Lambo / I need a Rari, an Enzo…” Sure, the words aren’t profound, but they definitely help ‘fuel the fire’ if nothing else. Offset raps the first verse, focusing on his drip which includes a Lambo, Rolls Royce, Porsche, and of course, money. Notably, he does reference his 2019 album, Father of 4: “Gotta feed ya family the first.”

21 Savage arrives for the second verse, joining in on the flex fest.  Among his more notable lyrics are “6 karats hanging out my motherfuckin’ earlobe / Shining like the glove on Michael (Jackson),” “Left a wet dream on a Barbie…,” and “I’m dunkin’ on your bitch like Tim bro (Free throw) / I let the block hit her, she Mutombo.” Arguably, 21 Savage has some of the best lyrics.  As for Gucci Mane, he takes the third and verse, showing off a bit more aggressiveness than usual.  One of his more memorable lines: “Copped two Maybach trucks, yeah / I go any-fucking-where, icy like a polar bear.” #Gucci.

Final Thoughts 

Ultimately, the best way to describe “Enzo” is merely a good, old-fashioned, trap banger.  It’s not transcendent, nor does it aspire to be.  To reiterate, merely a good, old-fashioned, trap banger. That’s sufficient.
