In a move that’s prompted a simple “Yessss!!!!” from Killer Mike, Texas-born MC RiFF RAFF has responded to Kendrick Lamar’s destroy-everything verse on “Control.” Jody Highroller, who was arrested on drug charges earlier this week, didn’t quite stoke fires with the track—”I wish success on everyone / Never had a carbon copy,” he raps. “I hope you have a beautiful family / And your label is successful financially.”
RiFF RAFF, who’s prepping for his much-anticipated Mad Decent debut, Neon Icon, also tweeted an explanation for the song. He writes:
