Theme & Lyrics

Before changing his name and tweaking his style, singer Shelley FKA DRAM was known simply as DRAM.  Also, worth noting, ‘DRAM’ rapped as well as opposed to focusing on his best gift, singing.  Anyways, his 2016 debut album, Big Baby DRAM, featured the Grammy-nominated, top-10 melodic rap hit, “Broccoli”. “Broccoli” is the crowning achievement – the crème de la crème – but Shelley also compels us with surefire After Dark s#!t: “In A Minute / In House.” 

On the two-part “In A Minute / In House,” sex fuels the fire, period. “We ain’t X and O in a minute / I think I want you to come over, tonight,” Shelley sings on the chorus of “In A Minute,” continuing, “You say that you are celibate / Well, let’s celebrate the first time you / Get this pipe.” HOLY S#!T!  In addition to the chorus from “In A Minute,” ‘Big Baby’ continues to express his urges – his sexual motives. He asserts: “In a minute, I’ll give your ass a little slap / In a minute, cause I know you like it like that.” WOW! Other sexed-up one-liners include the power of his D (“My dick’s official”) and his skills in the bedroom (“You don’t know what the fuck you been missing / I done learned like 8 new positions”).

On “In House,” the second part, Shelley continues to keep things sexually charged.  Clearly, a lot of s#!t is going down “in the house”:

“Weed, got that in the house

Lean, got that in the house

Bitches, got that in the house

I wish I was back in my house

… I wanna be home, to the tender lovin’ darling baby.”

Overall, “In House” is slower, more enigmatic in quality. Still, that vibe remains lustful, adding some drugs to mix.
