Though their sophomore album, Flight 360: The Takeoff, has been delayed for a while (likely due to a figurative “fuel inspection”), Playaz Circle are still determined to get it off the ground.  Hoping to give their sophomore album an extra boost, the Duffle Bag Boyz have released an official second single.  Since Stupid wasn’t as crowd-pleasing as they had hoped, Tity Boi and Dolla Boy take a more outside-the-box approach here, trading simple (yet very quotable) four-bar verses and inviting the listener to Hold Up for the next stanza.  The Kids Wit Machine Gunz back them up with a 30,000-foot high-sounding synth-sample-percussion beat (A Milli 2.0, anyone?).  There’s no doubt that Hold Up will bring The Takeoff a much-needed boost, but will it be enough to get the LP cleared for landing?  We’ll have to wait and see.

Man, Burmy is spot on with his assessment of the beat. If this beat had a first cousin, it would be "A Milli." This has LOTS of potential as another street single, but I don't think it can impact the charts the way "Duffle Bag Boyz" did on their debut go round.

the way it started off, i was goin call it a banger, but i lost the hype-ness.
production is hot.
the lyrics can be better... alot better.
those verses are too simple but overall. rotation.

Though i like the idea of four bar verses but their lyrics are just below average at best (Read: same ol-same ol). This song could be way much better with another Rapper replacing them on it to display the ability to write lyrics with technical proficiency & large-scale meaning within four bar verses ...

I'm feelin the production but he sounds really boring! I wanted this song to be a banger but it isn't in my opinion. I'd put it in rotation, the music is so cool!

Playaz Circle needs a big name feature to carry them to success. They are not that talented. Sorry, this ain't cuttin it for me.
