For more than a decade, artist-producer P-Lo has helped define the West Coast sound, layering bouncing basslines and speaker-knocking percussion into classics for himself and others.
The Filipino-American artist returns with “Run It Back,” an energetic and compulsively danceable new banger. P-Lo takes time to throw shade at haters who try to diminish his accomplishments before launching into the new song, which gets its bounce from syncopated handclaps, thudding kicks, and an earworm of an 808 bassline.
The Bay Area rap icon skates atop his own instrumental with party-positive bars, delivering a simmering anthem that could shut down a cookout as easily as a club night: “I don’t care about no Zodiac sign/When you’re with me girl, the stars will align/I got a couple things on my mind, but the only ring you’re gettin’ is when I ring your line,” he spits.
“Run It Back” continues the road to Out The Box, P-Lo’s next album. With plenty of music to come, P-Lo aims to cement his legendary status and build on his already impressive catalog. Stay tuned for much more.
