Eazy & Halsey - Him & I
G
Built around a churning, almost gothic hip-hop production, this duet between G-Eazy and Halsey operates like a dark romantic compact between two people who bring out each other's reckless sides. The beat is moody and propulsive — minor-key synths, compressed drums that punch hard, a tension that never fully releases. G-Eazy's rap delivery is smooth and self-aware, laying out the terms of a complicated love with a kind of cool emotional detachment, while Halsey's singing cuts through with raw vulnerability, her voice capable of going from hushed intimacy to a full-throated declaration. The lyrical core is about a relationship that's mutually obsessive, where both parties acknowledge their own chaos but choose each other anyway — a Bonnie-and-Clyde romanticism without the clean narrative arc. Halsey had been building her alt-pop identity for years before this, and the collaboration felt natural, even inevitable. It belongs to 2017's particular brand of emotionally turbulent pop-rap crossover. You reach for it when you're deep in a relationship that feels both intoxicating and slightly dangerous, when you want music that understands the seductive pull of emotional instability.
