The Single Notez 🎶:

Mean-sounding production – surprisingly NOT produced by the do-it-all musician

Loving the synth brass – adds some maliciousness to the backdrop

Russ raps melodically over the sleek production work; remains confident AF

Love the agile flow by Vitale; nice look for the rapper

Infectious chorus

Lil Baby enters the picture on the second verse with his distinct sound and his own agile, rhythmic flow

➖ I actually expected Lil Baby to out-rap Russ, but he holds his own


Memorable lyric:

“‘Cause I got your bitch now in love with me (She’s in love)
And I'm in this bitch now, it's getting ugly (Sheesh).”

🔏 In Closing: Russ shines on “Ugly,” with the assistance of Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Baby, and production ‘out of house.’
