41 is one of the most distinctive nyc voices dominating the rap game and the trio gave their fans plenty of vibes to add on their rotation last year. “Presidential” is a personal favorite from their latest singles as the “Bent” rappers Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter and TaTa go bar for bar on an hybrid Jersey club meets New York drill beat.

Seeing this song come to life on a plaqueboymax stream is another dope element to the sonic landscape happening in New York. There’s so much young talent building careers and massive fanbases solely through social media as gatekeepers try to keep up with who will be next to top the Billboard charts and potentially become a household name in the next couple of years.

Pining the Katy Perry “Legendary Lovers” sample from first listen gave me a little nostalgia for the 2010s mixtape days when I pressed play on Wiz Khalifa’s Kush & Orange Juice and heard a Camp Rock era Demi Lovato vocal on “We’re Done”. I’m curious if one of the producers (plaqueboymax, sauceproducedit) was the mastermind behind the pop moment or if one of the 41 members had the pop cut on repeat but this genre bending track is great representation of how chronically online most people are and the inspiration that can come from it collaboration.
