XV - Finally Home
Artist: XV
Featuring: MGK (Machine Gun Kelly)
Producer: Cook Classics
Album: None
Label: Square Bound Music/Warner Bros.
Wichita’s XV shines hard on new single Finally Home, featuring Machine Gun Kelly and produced by Cook Classics, who let airy synths wash over celebratory drums as the DJBooth Freestyle alum basks in his own glory. Lyrically the recently-signed Kansan fills his verses with braggadocio, while also hinting at what he has in store: “We goin’ up, you comin’ better grab my arm / To the place I ran, I’m the black Saddam.” Your guess is as good as mine on the Saddam line, but nevertheless it’s a clever play on words. Coming in later on Home is Cleveland’s MGK who spits similar material, waving “bye to street lights and ‘I can’t eat’ nights.” From the writing to Cook Classics’ splashy beat, which combine to make a real triumphant record, everything works here, putting you in that Roc Boys mode. When I’m sitting on my yacht, I’ll be bumping this for sure. And if that doesn’t work out (it won’t) then I’ll rock the sh*t out of a canoe. What’s the difference right? No word on any attached project yet - keep it locked.

It's not sensational, but it will stay in rotation for a while that's for sure.

I've gotten so used to hearing Vizzy rock over Seven production throughout the years that its quite different (in a good way) when he works with others. With that said, he sounds just as comfortable. Glad to see folks starting to work with MGK more. His stock is certainly rising.

Love the track. Production is made for Vizzy to shine and he killed it. Odd collabo and I'm not sure MGK was a good look for this particular track. I love the idea of the 2 working together, and MGK definitely has a future after his 'Lace Up' mixtape, but I don't think this was his type of song. XV overshadows though, and its still a banger.

It's fair to say since XV was signed that the question is whether he'll be able to make commercially successful music - I think this track answers that questions. It's fun and celebratory without being shallow, and has mass appeal without being generic. Props.

SWEET! XV sounded right at home on this. I haven't listened to him in awhile but this track just reminded me of how dope he is. MGK did sound a lil out of place and Vizzy outdid him. Still a cool track tho.. 4/5

XV is cool. Never been as blown away with him as everyone else seems to be, but he's always solid. His voice kinda irks me, but the lyrics are always on point.

XV rips up another track, you can't really pick a fault in his flow and lyricism! But the truth is, he'll only be popular within hip hop community until he starts to rhyme on beats that'll appeal to the masses (or MTV/Radio to be specific). But I know for me and fans of XV, we like him just the way he is...

XV flips on this track and I feel that beat. His flow is sickening on this track. Machine Gun Kelly blends in pretty well on this track also.
