Rapper/singer Ty Dolla $ign continues to promo his sophomore album Campaign, due September 23. Following the infectious โZaddy,โ Ty dropping new single โ3 Wayz.โ Simply put, โ3 Wayzโ is the ultimate example of excess. Both Ty and guest Travis Scott sound โtoโ up.โ
The sound of โ3 Wayzโ is mysterious from the jump.ย It opens with a reference to โleanโ and codeine. Obviously, this is part of the subject matter.ย Travis Scott delivers the first half of the hook:
โOne more stop โfore the world stop We gonโ roll this loud itโs prohibited Making money moves off the laptop Codeine, codeine, codeine, no prescriptions here.โ
Ty joins for the rest.
The pace is slow and lethargic. This is an excellent touch considering the druggy nature of the song. In addition to the influence of drugs, Ty Dolla $ign references sex as well:
โN*ggas out of Hennessy, bitch, hit the store Pour that lean, lean, lean, lean, lean She gonโ turn to a freak, and Iโm gone off a beanโฆโ
Final Thoughts
All in all, โ3 Wayzโ is some kind of a song. Itโs druggy, sexual, and thoroughly irresponsible. Even so, Ty Dolla $ign and Travi$ Scott deliver a hit.ย It may lack substance (lean and the codeine in it aside), but this slow jam is irresistible.
