"I'm a P-L-A-Y AH
Reason why your girl called and wanna break up
Say she tired of scrubs, she need a moneymaker
A hustler that do it big and ride
On twenty two's and up
And I'm that dude
And I'm that guy
They say it's so clean
They say it's so fly
And I'm that guy
And I'm that dude
And even when it's summer
I'm still cool"

The track "P*L*A*Y AH" by Swagga Jonez fka "Budha" is somewhat of a musical paradox. I say this because it has some ole school flavor blended into a Hip Hop and Rap combination. But the irony doesn't end there. Usually, most rappers stick with one perception of women, but BUDHA mixes it up like he respects a portion of the female population and gives them their props, and makes it clear that he has only one use for the rest. I find that to be pretty interesting.

"My grandpa was a Mack
My brother was too
Treat a woman like a woman

Share a ho with the crew"

My favorite verse on the track is the following because he really hits a home run about the difference between being fake and being real:

"I'm an A+
You're an F-
I'm an Obama
You're a Clarence Thomas
Justified player
Justified mack
You girl gone, bruh and that alone
Justifies that"

Overall, the track has a nice beat and you can definitely dance to it (I know I did), but it doesn't quite complete the task of distinguishing itself from other rap songs. But Budah has collaborated with other well know artists such as producer Droop-E and rap legend Bun B of UKG, and these and other music affiliations will continue to shape him and his music, and as he continues to make music, I think he will become more comfortable with finding his "own sound." My opinion is that we'll see him come into his own with future releases.
