Yung Gravy, Sensational [📷: Republic]“You ain’t with the shits, you ain’t with the shits, you ain’t with the shits!” Oh, shit! Sometimes, rap bangers are bite-sized; short and sweet. Yung Gravy (Matthew Hauri) keeps it brief on “The Boys Are Back In Town”, the fourth track from his 2019 debut album, Sensational.  Not only is the Minnesotan rapper giant in stature, but he also exudes a giant personality, particularly on “The Boys Are Back In Town.” Hauri isn’t the only boy back in town on the two-and-a-half-minute track, though.  He enlists Pouya, Ramirez, and TrippyThaKid to assist him. The results are sick!

“The Boys Are Back In Town” features well-rounded production (Yung Gravy, swvde., and Y2K). The backdrop is colorful with the drum programming, seedy, sus-sounding synths, and minimalist ideas. Notably, the song samples a 1984 song by Dennis Edwards featuring Siedah Garrett, “Don’t Look Any Further”. The chorus (“You ain’t with the shits…”) is one of the most fun parts of the song.  Still, the verses, and there are plenty, slap. Gravy brings ample confidence and swagger. His compelling cadence and flow shine early: “Bitch, I’m dead fresh, I might pull up in a casket / You be lookin’ sweet like a fuckin’ fruit basket.” His partners in crime are no slouches either, kicking ass and taking names throughout.  TrippyThaKid asserts, “Don’t think nobody gonna fuck with me like I do.” Ramirez touts “Heat-seeking missiles, I load up and hit you / I carry the coffin and drop it in grave (Ho),” and later, he’s “Pimpin’ these bitches, I’m breakin ‘em off as they hangin’ up off my nutsack.” D-d-d-da-yum! Pouya isn’t to be left out with the striking lyrical gems, “Baby Bone got a bone to pick with you, yeah / Hold up, Ricky Bobby, I’m jacked up on Mountain Dew, yeah,” and the charming, “I just fucked your bitch in the back of my ‘96 DeVille.” No extensive analysis is necessary. “The Boys Are Back In Town” is what it is, a brief, fun, and unapologetic rap banger that slaps something fierce!
