Lil Gotit Ft. Future – What It Was

“What It Was” feels like a passing of the baton moment in Atlanta’s trap scene— from the city’s icon Future to the bubbling, melodic Lil Gotit. The duo shares how far they’ve come: from Lil Gotit’s, “Won’t ‘ccept shit from no lame, went and bossed up a no-name,” to Future’s, “Steppin’ in Gucci/I’m standin’ ten toes.” It was produced by D. Hill— the man behind Future’s #2 Billboard hit “Life Is Good,” with Drake— and is tailor made to bump full blast through car speakers.

“What It Was” is Gotit’s first new track since the release of Hood Baby 2, Gotit’s recent mixtape. The sequel to his 2018 debut mixtape, which announced the then-19-year-old Gotit as a player to watch in his hometown scene, Hood Baby 2 demonstrates the rapper’s artistic evolution–his flows hit harder, his ad-libs are wilder, and his money is longer. Released in April, the mixtape boasts standout tracks like “Drip Day N Night” ft. Gunna and Gotit’s brother Lil Keed and “Yeah Yeah,” featuring Keed and Future and earned praise from the likes of Complex, HYPEBEAST, and UPROXX. The 20-year-old rapper recently shared videos for tape highlights “Bricks In The Attic” and “No Kizzy.” Hood Baby 2 is Gotit’s second tape of 2020, following Superstar Creature, an 11-track collaborative project with London On Da Track, which features appearances from Polo G, Young Nudy, and Slimelife Shawty.
