Earlier this week, news of a forthcoming JID and Lil Yachty collaboration got hip-hop heads hyped for the first link-up between the skilled rappers. On Blakkboyz Present Half Doin Dope/Van Gogh, each rapper brings their distinct energy and artistry to two new cuts: “Half Doin Dope” and “Van Gogh.”
“Half Doin Dope” sees the rappers match each other’s charisma, throwing playful bars back and forth. Stacked with a BabyTron feature as well, the three-and-a-half minute track’s momentum is led by a vibey beat and each rapper’s high-energy flow. “I gave them rappers they time at the podium / I ain’t spoken, I ain’t speak in a moment / It’s been a minute, I was feedin’ the homie,” JID spits on the first verse.
“Van Gogh” sees JID and Boat flexing their lyrical capabilities. Over a trap beat, the two throw braggadocious yet clever rhymes to one another. The Atlanta duo also dropped off the music video for “Van Gogh” as well, which sees the rappers (and some talking art pieces) deliver the cut across a series of trippy backdrops and captivating colorways. Check it out above.
The BlakkBoyz present Half Doin Dope/Van Gogh two-pack is available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music.
