Luh Tyler, The Grinch Freestyle | Song Review

Swagger-laden teen rapper Luh Tyler taps Grammy-nominated rapper Latto for the short but entertaining banger, “The Grinch Freestyle.”

“N-gga callin’ like, ‘Come home,’ why you actin’ like the Grinch.” Woo! Latto draws first blood on “The Grinch Freestyle”, a brief single attributed to teen rapper, Luh Tyler.  Deferring to Latto, the Grammy-nominated rapper kicks things off with the chorus. Beyond the above-mentioned lyric, she adds, “I buy all my friends Chanel for they birthday ‘cause I’m rich / Way too player, I’ll never keep the beef up ‘bout some dick.” Well, damn! Latto goes on to drop a verse, delivering the ice cold lyric, “Bitches think they ballin’, but they really Ja Morant (they ain’t).” Ooh-wee!

Following her first verse, Luh Tayler enters the mix.  Much like Latto, he makes it clear, “Man, we getting’ this bread, no, we ain’t fallin’ out about no ho.” Of course, he also enjoys indulging, too: “My brand-new bitch, I rip her out the plastic, fuck her on the floor.” What more needs to be said? From there, Latto and Luh Tyler trade verses, talking plenty of shit over production by Pooh Beatz and Go Grizzly. Will “The Grinch Freestyle” affect your Christmas as much as the actual Grinch who stole Christmas?  Nah, but it’s an entertaining, minor-key rap banger, all told.
