    I wish I didn't listen to Down Bad snippets so much before hand and I would have loved it. Still hard. However, Got Me is the one!!!!

    Also, between her album and this feature, Ari might be my favourite Dreamville artist atm.

    I saw a theory on youtube about the growing trend for shorter songs. Kinda started out with old town road which always leaves you wanting more by an extra hook or Billy ray verse. It encourages listeners to hit the repeat asap and that helps to boost streams and therefore $s. Pretty simple tactic but I can see why Down Bad was so short when you go like 5/6 artists on there and it's not even reaching 3 mins, just leaves you wanting to hear more and catch all the lyrics so will prolly do well streaming-wise
