In the 18th edition of 1 Hit WONDERful (2025), we highlight “Duffle Bag Boy” performed by Playaz Circle featuring Lil Wayne.
It only takes ONE hit to solidify a musical legacy ! On 1 Hit WONDERful, we highlight songs that were the SOLE hit by a given musician. It is possible that the artists appearing on this list earned a minor hit or two, BUT for the most part, that ONE hit earned them recognitioSo, in the 18th edition of 1 Hit WONDERful (2025), we dive into “Duffle Bag Boy”, the one-hit wonder by Playaz Circle.
“If I don’t do nothin’, I’ma ball / I’m countin’ all day like the clock on the wall / Now go and get your money, little duffle bag boy / Said go and get your money, little duffle bag boy.” Ooh-wee! Fiery lyrics from the one-and-only Lil Wayne who has a shit-ton of hits to his name. He is NOT a one-hit wonder by any means. Likewise, Tity Boi, now 2 Chainz, is NOT a one-hit wonder either. But, he is one half of the southern rap duo, Playaz Circle (also including Dolla Boy), who produced only one hit single: “Duffle Bag Boy”. Also, Dolla Boy is a one-hit wonder thanks to “Duffle Bag Boy.” The single from their 2007 album, Supply & Demand, peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified platinum by the RIAA.
One of the big lifts Playaz Circle received on “Duffle Bag Boy” is the featured guest spot by Lil Wayne. Weezy drops the confident, ball-heavy chorus in all its glory! He bites, “I ain’t never ran from a nigga / And I damn sure ain’t ‘bout to pick today to start runnin’!” Damn right! “Duffle Bag Boy” isn’t deep or transcendent. That said, it’s well-produced by M16 with sounds representative of southern rap. Also, it’s incredibly entertaining. Weezy’s hook gains a lot of attention, but Tity Boi and Dolla Boy drop hot flows too. Tity Boi asserts in the first verse, “We leave the dealership, head to the rim shop / You niggas barely dressing, I got thousands piling / That’s that salad dressing, I’m on my Thousand Island.” 2 Chainz! As for Dolla Boy: “Meet a ho, break a ho, never nothin’ new to us /Turnin’ hoes to housewives never been cool with us / Soon enough, all these dealers is gonna catch up / ‘Til then, fuck it, I’m winning, so I’ma stack up.” Woo! Revisiting “Duffle Bag Boy” nearly 20 years later, it remains a surefire rap banger. It’s a shame the duo couldn’t drop any more significant hits. But it’s better to have one hit single than none, right? Right!
