Rich Baby Daddy
Drake ft. Sexyy Red & SZA
This is a track built for summer windows down and unearned confidence — a bounce-heavy, Memphis-tinged production where the 808s hit with a looseness that feels almost cartoonish, and that's entirely the point. The beat is deliberately gaudy, all treble synths and snap percussion, the sonic equivalent of cubic zirconia jewelry worn without irony. Sexyy Red is the engine here, her voice a blunt instrument — nasally, unpolished, radiating zero aspirational pretense — and that rawness is what makes her compelling where a more technically refined vocalist would feel wrong. Drake orbits her energy rather than centering himself, playing a supporting role that actually suits him in this context. SZA provides the bridge between registers, her smoothness creating contrast that makes the rougher textures pop harder. Lyrically the song celebrates a very particular kind of street-adjacent materialism — not the aspirational kind but the transactional kind, where affection is measured in what someone provides. This is a club song, a cookout song, a song for people who find absurdist joy in songs that don't pretend to be anything elevated. You play it when you want to feel reckless and not quite account for the consequences.
