Fetty Wap: "Jugg" [ft. Monty]

At a time earlier this year when “Trap Queen” pounded out of speakers everywhere speakers were available, Fetty Wap premiered a snippet of a song called “Jugg” via his excellent Instagram account. The hook was so huge that it didn’t take long for a since-deleted YouTube version of the post to pile up half a million views. Just as he had done with “Trap Queen”, Fetty Wap captivated listeners’ imaginations to the point where a full song almost felt like an afterthought. All it took was those 15 seconds to fall in love.

“Jugg” is now the latest single from Fetty Wap’s debut album and it delivers on the promise, though it tones down the initial exuberance of Fetty’s Insta clip. We end up with a sturdier song. Again, Fetty’s inviting, beaming presence—”I’ll teach you how to jugg with me!”—carries the track, and Remy Boy Monty seals up the family-affair feel that lines the entire debut. “Jugg” is another factual jump-off; it’s no longer a wonder how this guy inspires so much joy, just a truth of our current pop universe. The best moments of “Jugg” feel like a soundtrack to meeting some omniscient operator at the center of it all. I’d be like, hey, what’s up? Hello.
