Moneybagg Yo, "Time Today" [📷: N-Less Entertainment / Interscope]The Musical Hype provides some quick thoughts on the hard-nosed banger “Time Today,” by rapper Moneybagg Yo. 

🎵 Single/Song/Track: “Time Today”

📻 Genre: Rap

🎙2 Featured Guests: N/A

🎼 Songwriters: Christopher Pearson, DeMario White, Jorres Nelson

💿 Album: N/A


The Single Notez 🎶:

“Time Today” keeps things brief, running only 2:17

Malicious-sounding, minor-key production by Real Red and YC; definitely gives the rapper ‘fuel for the fire’

Moneybagg Yo is tough AF (“I don’t like niggas, I don’t like bitches / I don’t like nobody”); love the masculine, unapologetic nature and sound of his flow

The best part of “Time Today” is the beginning of each verse, which is infectious

➖ As respectable as this banger is, “Time Today” definitely doesn’t reinvent the wheel; it’s not transcendent (nitpicking)


 Memorable lyric(s):

“I just looked at my wrist, I got time today
Fuck it I’m crossin’ the line today.”
“A huncho it cost you a Quavo to book me.” 

🔏 In Closing: Rapper Moneybagg Yo delivers a hard-nosed, tough banger with the short but potent “Time Today.”
