Nobody on this track sounds like they have forgotten where they started. That is the thing about “MILLIONAIRE” that separates it from the average money flex record.
Yachty opens by pointing at the gap between where he was and where he is now. Used to not have bus fare.
That line does more work than a whole verse of bragging because it is specific and it is true, and you can hear it in how he delivers the chorus. He is not celebrating. He is reminding himself.
The production from MitchGoneMad and WessGoneMad sits somewhere between orchestral and suffocating, heavy low end with enough space for each verse to breathe without getting comfortable.
The beat switch into the chopped and screwed section is mean and gives the track a different feel, pulling the whole thing back towards Houston in a way that feels earned rather than borrowed.
DC2Trill’s verse is the most fun on the record. He references the Tea app, no maps needed in your city, G19s and no laws. Bars that are genuinely funny but delivered with enough edge that you do not mistake them for jokes.
Camo! and Draft Day hold their own, the latter in particular sounding like someone who has accepted the hard parts and is moving anyway. No one sounds like a guest on the record.
The video is shot inside a decaying mansion, peeling walls, empty frames, crumbling grandeur. The overhead dining table shot with the whole crew gathered around it is the image that stays with you.
The video transitions are well-executed, showing enough to hold your attention.
It’s Us Vol. 2 is looking strong. They’re not flexing. They’re accounting.
MILLIONAIRE by Concrete Boys is out now.
