The impact of Dem Franchise Boyz’s 2004 classic "White Tee" is still being felt in today’s hip-hop, and the newest spin comes from Murda Beatz and Lancey Foux. Instead of the loud and rowdy feel of the original, their take on "White Tee" leans into a woozier atmosphere while still carrying plenty of punch.
Murda’s signature trap style is easy to catch here, primarily through the drums that recall his dominance during the 2010s. The synths, however, cut sharper and feel rougher this time, tapping into the rage trend that continues to influence so many rappers. The beat holds steady throughout, aside from a short drop-out in the bridge, but the "DANCE ON ME" artist brings enough fire in his performance to keep the track moving with fresh energy.
His voice jumps from smoky tones to sharper, nasal bursts, and that contrast works perfectly against the production. The lyrics don’t dive too deep, but there are a few playful lines that the "Winter's Over" hitmaker delivers with flair. The chemistry between them makes it clear we can expect more music from the pair soon, which is something to look forward to.
Lancey Foux's "TEKTIME" already feels like one of the most overlooked tracks of the year, and hopefully, more music is coming from his side. At the same time, Murda Beatz's 2025 collaborations features hint at a larger project in the works. Whether that materializes or not, or leads to more standalone bangers, "White Tee" proves that the two artists have a strong creative spark and a lot of fun ahead.
Quotable Lyrics
I slime you out, your sister and your best mate,
You must be out your mind, we don't do dates in Saint-Tropez,
I put a ring on your hand for fun, I ain't trying to be your bae,
I told you my girl was a gun, fell asleep with a new AK
