“I’m pressure, I’m pressurelicious, yeah.” Okay, 🎙 Megan Thee Stallion, we see ya! The 🏆 Grammy-winning rapper returns with another single, 🎵 “Pressurelicious”.  This time, she’s assisted by fellow 🏆 Grammy-winner, 🎙 Future.  The results are respectable I suppose, but I wasn’t blown away by the single per se. 

“Pressurelicious” features a malicious-sounding backdrop, produced by 🎛 Hitkidd and 🎛 Payday, set in a minor key.  It is fuel for both rappers’ fire. As always, we get aggressive, unapologetic rhymes by Megan Thee Stallion. She drops the first verse, which is confident AF, and references her privates (shocker): “This pussy bomb (Yeah), explosive (Baow) / It’s soaking (Ah), osmosis (Mwah).” Megan follows up with the chorus, followed by the second verse, which she splits with Future.  He comes out hot, dropping agile, fast-paced rhymes. Interestingly, Future seems to rap quicker than I’m accustomed to hearing which is interesting.  Megan and Future also split the third verse, which encompasses predictable rap topics: sex, drip, and drugs.


Final Thoughts 💭 

fire sunglassesAs stated, “Pressurelicious” is respectable – it’s okay.  Does Megan Thee Stallion do anything drastically different? Not in my humble opinion.  She raps fine – she’s assertive, raunchy, and unapologetic as ever – but doesn’t move the needle. While Future raps a bit faster, does he change the game with his rhymes? No, not really. He’s “ratchet” as always (as Megan Thee Stallion describes him), but doesn’t reinvent the rap banger by any means. So, respectable but also ‘more of the same’ when it comes to “Pressurelicious.”
