In the 16^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz (2025), we break down “OK” performed by Joey Valence & Brae.

“What you got? I got it goin’ on (Okay).” Word! Joey Valence and Brae (Braedan Lugue) bring the energy and swagger to “OK”. “OK” is the eighth track on the duo’s colorful 2024 album, NO HANDS. The song features old-school hip-hop production by Valence, Patrick Nissley, and Lucas Banker. This marks one of many selling points regarding the sub-two-and-a-half-minute cut.

The biggest selling point of “OK” is the fun, unforgettable rhymes. Joey Valence draws first blood in the first verse. His confidence is through the roof: “I got the big stacks, I’m pushin’ stacks / Uh, new outfit, you wish you had it on / Omnitrix on the wrist, gotta keep it on.”  Woo! Brae ‘brings the heat’ in the second verse, where he spits, “So much drip I’m slippin’, someone please call a plumber / Baby blue, top hat and cane, Dumb and Dumber (Okay) / Whipped cream-color whips, that’s pimp / White Nissan, that’s a cool whip.” I mean, Grammy-winning rapper Doechii touted a “Nissan Altima”, so, fair assessment of a cool whip. In the third verse, with contributions from both, there are references to Michael Jackson (“I’m too smooth like MJ”), Chick-fil-A (“Got sauce like Chick-fil-A”), and Judge Judy (“Boss bitch like Judge Judy). Ultimately, “OK” isn’t deep or transcendent, but it is highly entertaining, like, OKAY!!!
