Theme & Lyrics ✍ 

🎙 Drake and 🎙 21 Savage are a match made in heaven… in the most hellish way possible.  The 🏆 Grammy-winning rappers always seem to bring the heat when they link up, hence, why their joint 2022 album, 💿 Her Loss, ended up being a massive success.  Joining a list filled with boys of all sorts – boyfriends, fuckboys, and pretty boys – the duo highlights 🎵 “Broke Boys” on the 11^th track from Her Loss.

“Broke Boys” is a two-part rap banger.  In Part 1, Drake is the aggressor initially, performing the first verse and the chorus.  On autopilot, with no shortage of confidence, Drizzy references lux foreign ride and mentions the 6 (of course).   In the chorus, that confidence soars, capped off by the final two lines, “You boys gettin’ ready to diss, but don’t even mention the O / And don’t even mention a foe unless you boys tryna go broke.” Oh, $hi†! 21 Savage takes the second verse, spitting ether in his aggressive, deadpan style, asserting, “She called me mucus, I stay in her throat / Stick hit that boy, got his ass hittin’ notes.” Da-yum! As for Part 2, Drizzy dominates, dropping one verse and emphasizing throughout, “I can’t talk to broke boys.” Among his most potent lines: “Nigga went and bought a house when he coulda bought a verse / Niggas dumb as fuck, imagine if I did that stupid shit when I was comin’ up.” Woo!

Final Thoughts 💭 

Just to reiterate, Drake and 21 Savage make a formidable team.  They kick ass and take names on  🎵 “Broke Boys”, period.  There is no shortage of confidence and neither waters down the trash talk.  This is a rap banger to spin well beyond 2022.
