"After blowing up with a handful of remixes for Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” and Logic’s “1–800,” New York rapper-singer Melii is ready to release original tracks, packed with an unheard of charisma. “Icey” is a potent mixture of dirty, blown out bass and biting flows. Melii stays in her pocket while playing with the depth of her inflections, keeping the track from drowning in its own grit.Produced by CT Beats, “Icey” features one of Melii’s harsher flows, paired with an attractive nonchalance. On the single, Melii is on top of the world and she knows it, spitting about all the labels and men courting her — but she can’t be bothered. Much like her “Bodak Yellow” remix, Melii also brings in her native Spanish, ensuring that “Icey” maintains her unique voice and perspective." [Editor's Note]

"Following the success of the Migos Trap Symphony, A Boogie’s symphonic rendition of “Say A,” and “No Promises,” Audiomack has once again brought together a nine-piece orchestra for A Boogie wit Da Hoodie to perform “Drowning.” Leaning into the morose keys and somber tones of the cut, the orchestra amplifies the blanketing feel of “Drowning” as A Boogie delivers his vocals with an emotive strain. The trappier elements of the original, namely the rattling percussion, are stripped back and replaced with a bed of rich strings. With a more full-bodied arrangement, the menace and anxiety of “Drowning” is immediately amplified. Boogie cautiously skates over the final strings, as a swell of hurt notes finalize the track."
