One of hip-hop's biggest hits toward the end of 2014 has gotten a fresh facelift to revive it kicking off the new year. O.T. Genasis's smash single "CoCo" has been given two additional verses by Meek Mill and Jeezy -- fitting, given both of their histories with the substance.
The remix keeps the slow, simple and instantly recognizable beat with its booming synths and hook for Genasis, but gets a new verse from each of the rappers. Meek Mill goes first, fresh out of jail after being released in December for a probation violation stemming from a 2009 gun and drug incident that involved -- you guessed it -- cocaine.
He revels in his freedom, saying:
Back where the sun never shines
They let Meek Milly back home just in time
Look at their faces, now I got the paper
Now they don't remember when I had to grind
Genasis reiterates his love for the CoCo, but this time with a little more bravado with some success and money to his name:
Coco Puffs, yeah, that's for the kids
Stop tryna act like you don't know what it is
Bakin' soda ain't cut me no check
If they don't, I'ma show them mothaf**kas what an arm and hammer is
Everybody know I'm in love with the coke
Jeezy was implicated in a nationwide, multimillion-dollar, cocaine-trafficking case in 2008, though he was never arrested or charged with anything. Jeezy addresses the case rather brazenly in the remix:
I say I run my town like Puffy, bitch
Units in the duffel
They like, "Why the f**k he never got indicted?"
I guess I'm lucky, bitch
