GloRilla, Hollon | Song Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated Memphis rapper GloRilla remains unapologetic on “Hollon,” the second single from her debut studio album, GLORIOUS.

“Ayy, hol’ on, ho, hol’ on, hol’ on, hol’ on, ho.” Word, GloRilla.  The Grammy-nominated Memphis rapper returns with a banger, “Hollon”.  “Hollon” is brief but potent and unapologetic to the nth degree. It marks the second single (following “TGIF”) from her debut studio album, GLORIOUS (arrives October 13, 2024). FNZ, SkipOnDaBeat, and DJ Montay produced it.  Notably, “Hollon” samples the aughts banger, “Hold on Ho” by Unk.

GloRilla is true to herself throughout “Hollon.” She’s not playing with you [****]! “Ho, you must not know what you just started (Fuck),” she spits in the first verse, continuing, “Me and my bitches go gnarly / Give a fuck about this party.” Oh, snap! The rapper is unafraid to use her hands, including “beatin’ on bitches.” She also threatens to “Knock out all your thirty-two” in the second verse. Why would she do that? Ho, you were lookin’ at her man, so you about to be toothless!  There’s even more street talk in the third verse, where she prefers a Glock .19, won’t get serious but will make him cum, and asserts in the final line, “These niggas ain’t got no type, they want a stupid bitch (On gang).” Does GloRilla turn the game on its side with “Hollon”? No, it’s not an innovative banger, but, it’s fun and goes hard.  Hard-nosed, malicious production and ample attitude (and that deep voice) from the rapper make this song a success.
