Rick Ross & Meek Mill, Lyrical Eazy [📷: Maybach Music / gamma.]Grammy nominated rappers Rick Ross and Meek Mill drop a brief, but potent banger, “Lyrical Eazy,” in advance of their collaborative LP, Too Good To Be True.  

“And I ain’t lyin’, I got this money shit to a science,” 🎙️ Meek Mill asserts in the first verse of the banger, 🎵 “Lyrical Eazy”. “Lyrical Eazy” marks the second collaborative single between the Grammy-nominated rapper and his fellow Grammy nominee, 🎙️ Rick Ross, from their album, 💿 Too Good To Be True. “Lyrical Eazy” runs just 1:40 and lacks a chorus.  Even so, Meek and Rick are potent over their two, fiery verses.

Rick Ross & Meek Mill, To Good To Be True [📷: Maybach Music / gamma.]Meek Mill may take home the highest honors in the first verse.  He never backs down.  The bars are #giving whether its, “Murder on mind, I been up all night / Two bad bitches tryna fuck all night,” or the closing ‘bullet,’ “Nigga say they fuck with us, but we don’t fuck with them /… My youngin’ got that chopper, turn to Andre, he start drummin’ ‘em.” WOO! Rick Ross has a tough act to follow, but he does the damn thing as well. “Young Jimmy Lovine of the crime scene,” he spits in verse two, adding, “Leave a nigga whole team on them IVs / Point ‘em out and put ‘em on obituaries.” Oh, my! Besides the killer bars, the hard-knocking trap beat, and piano accompaniment, in a minor key, fuels ⛽️ the fire 🔥 (🎛️ Sean Momberger, SAUCEboy, Dnny Phntm, TheBoyKam, Preme, and DeeJayM0 put in work from the production end).  All told, 🎵 “Lyrical Eazy” qualifies as a brief but potent rap banger 💪!
