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.”
