Diamonds flooded (Flooded), cup muddy (Muddy)
Bad b*tches (Let’s go), they all tryna f*ck me (F*ck me)
Pot, whip it, got the trap jumpin’ (Jumpin’, let’s go)
Say that he gon’ kill me, uh, that boy ain’t on nothin’
Rich Amiri and Iayze — “Jumpin”
Iayze hops in with his distinctively unique vocal register and simply does what he does best — boisterously diving into the beat to elicit his one-of-kind melodies (that have generated him over 1.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify).
The visual for “Jumpin” is a sweet and simple, as the video showcases the two new wave pioneers chilling together inside the crib and outside in front of an expensive whip. In light of their new collaboration, Amiri also hopped on a track with Iayze’s current nemesis Slump6s on April 9, as the two have been trading disses in a slew of verses over the last few weeks.
