Doja Cat, Go to Town © Kemosabe / AtlanticDoja Cat proves to be unapologetic as albeit on her filthy, hyper-sexual single, “Go to Town.” The innuendo is totally ‘out of control.’

Rapper/Singer Doja Cat proves she is ‘one of a kind’ on her single, “Go to Town.” “Go to Town” features sleek, modern production work, in the urban-contemporary, hip-hop style.  No problems there.  Where things get interesting is the content of “Go to Town,” which might as well had taken the extra leap and been named go downtown.  Clearly, this is a sexually-driven record. The accompanying music video further highlights the heavy innuendo and explicit vibes. Hey, there isn’t a guy locked in a cage stripped down to his boxers for no reason.

Prior to becoming too filthy, Doja Cat serves up an infectious chorus, maybe most accurately called the post-chorus or a refrain.  This is introduced at the top of the flavor, sung with some international flare.

“Go down, go down, go down, yeah
Let me see you go to town, yeah
Go down, go down, go down, yeah
Let me see you go to town
Go down, go down, go down, yeah
Let me see you go to town, yeah
Go down, go down, go down, yeah, yeah, yeah.”

The chorus arrives after the intro (post-chorus), but generally precedes it throughout the record.

“If you're down, boy, really down
Baby let me watch you go to town
It's your one chance, baby, never or now, yeah
Let me see you go to town, baby
Go to town, yeah
Baby let me watch you go to town
It's your one chance, baby, never or now, yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Following the chorus sections, the innuendo graduates to full-blown explicitness.  On the first verse, Dojo Cat raps about shaving her private parts and encouraging her man to enjoy them.

“Go to town with it
And she shave it all off, Charlie Brown with it
Looking all around, all the other girls sound fishy
He ain’t ever caught a whiff, that’s why he down with it
Yuh, bitch I’m telling you, this incredible, this shit edible
It’s like cannibal, kiss my genital.”

Later, on the second verse, she obviously disguises dirty pictures:

“He text me an eggplant, I text him a peanut.”

Final Thoughts

The filth is real for Dojo Cat.  Even so, she drops agile rhymes and piques interest with her style and her over-sexualizing. “Go to Town” should be a total turn off, but instead, it’s enticing.
