Lyrical Lemonade, Fallout | Song Review 🎵

“Fallout” marks an enjoyable track by Lyrical Lemonade featuring surprising collaboration between Gus Dapperton, Lil Yachty, and Joey Bada$$.

Are you ready? Ready for what? Why, All Is Yellow, the 2024 album by Lyrica Lemonade! Two weeks prior to its scheduled release, Gus Dapperton, Lil Yachty, and Joey Bada$$ join forces on the single, “Fallout”, which appears as the 10^th track on the album.  This is an unlikely cast of characters, but, “Fallout” ends up being an intriguing listen.  Dapperton produces alongside Jacob Lincoln, Cole Bennett, Kosher World, and Daniyel.

“Fallout” commences with warm production, which proves to be perfect fuel for the fire of Gus Dapperton. Dapperton sings the first verse, which depicts the up and downs of the relationship (“Death from the moment we met /… After we make our amends / Let’s fall back in love in the fallout shelter”). Dapperton also gets the honors of singing the best part of the song, the chorus, which is tuneful, and features an f-bomb (“Go ahead and play with my money, my money / Baby, it’s so fuckin’ funny to me, I get off…”). Throw in a shout it out post-chorus, and Gus puts in work prior to the second verse performed by Lil Yachty.  Yachty keeps things melodic, both complementing and contrasting Gus. “Never thought I’d see your face again / I believe in miracles,” he melodically raps, adding, “Repent now for our sins / Call out for your soul.” The third verse by Joey Bada$$, which feels more like a bridge, is the most surprisingly, maintaining the melody. His final contributions, an outro, are more characteristic of the rapper.  All in all, “Fallout” marks a surprising, enjoyable collaboration between Lyrical Lemonade, Gus Dapperton, Lil Yachty, and Joey Bada$$.  It’s worth checking out!
