Two decades after releasing her iconic debut album, the Bronx rap legend is back with a unexpected vibe. When you think of Remy Ma, you think of twenty years of raw, hardcore, street-certified energy. If static is popping off in the streets, she is the exact person you want in your corner. But on her latest single, “Put Em On“, the rap veteran steps completely outside her usual comfort zone.
Produced by Juice, the track is a clear bid for a breakout summer anthem. It pairs hard-hitting drums and heavy bass with a hook that will get stuck in your head like a Q-Tip
A New Season and a New Sound
Remy opened up about the stylistic shift, revealing that she is ready to shatter the public’s narrow expectations of her artistry.
“I think a lot of people expect my music to be angry or super aggressive because for a long time that’s the narrative I let people believe,” says Rem. “But in this season I’m literally having the most fun I’ve had in my life, and I wanted this song to reflect that.”
Instead of the usual gritty street tales, Remy Ma “Put Em On” focuses entirely on opulence and sharing. The song revolves around taking care of her girls and passing the bag. She’s giving all the money dudes spend on her, to her girls.
Subliminal Shots at Claressa Shields?
Despite the fun, celebratory atmosphere of the track, fans are already dissecting the lyrics for hidden friction. Is there a subliminal shot aimed directly at boxing champion Claressa Shields?
Listen closely to the cadence:
“Heard I got them real pissed. Heard btches been sending shots. Sorry boo but you missed.”*
Closing out that specific sequence with the line, “I’m so fucking cute,” definitely feels like a targeted jab to anyone paying close attention to recent rap drama.
