JENNIE, ExtraL (Ft. Doechii) | Song Review

South Korean singer and rapper JENNIE enlists the talents of Grammy-winning rapper Doechii on her high-flying single, “ExtraL.”

“Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this?” Hell yes, they do, JENNIE! Ahead of her debut album, Ruby, JENNIE unveils the single and sixth track, “ExtraL” which stands for extra large. She enlists the services of sickening, Grammy-winning rapper, Doechii.  “ExtraL” was produced by Dem Jointz. The record is energetic from the onset. It sports sleek production work. JENNIE brings aggressive melodic rhymes.  The attitude exhibited is lit! “All of my girls looking good and they got they own money / Pop your shit,” she raps,  “This for my girls with no sponsor, they got they own funding’.” Word. Nice, harmonized background vocals support her. 

The chorus on “ExtraL” is tuneful:

“Ridin’ ‘round, foreign cars (Yeah)

Top down, starin’ at the stars (Yeah)

Attitude, so don’t star shit (Yeah)

Big moves, only extra-large, yeah (Yeah).”

It’s not only JENNIE who ‘kicks ass and takes names.’ Doechii ‘brings the heat’ with her electrifying rhymes, cadence, and flow during the second verse:  “In the boardroom looking bored ‘cause I’m not here for pleasin’ the men,” she spits, continuing, “Not here to reason with them / Misbehaved, Miss Push-My-Pen.” All told, JENNIE impresses again with “ExtraL” which is extra good!
