Critical reception
Writing for HipHopDX, Will Gedron stated that on the track, "Carson is able to channel the most exciting cadences of his career into a maximalist, galactic swell". He also noted that "the rest of his verse alternates between straight-line raps and pagan chants, sometimes stopping for a half-second before moving onto the next line. It’s a microcosm of the way he builds out his flows on the whole record — delivered as if his nose hasn’t been clear for months".[2]
Music video
The Cole Bennett-directed music video was released on the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel. It features glitchy visuals of Ken Carson partying and rapping his own lyrics, and is described as "a montage of grainy, 3D footage – that resembles content shot on night-vision goggles".[3]
