Desiinger took a few moments from his busy schedule stop by Genius and explain the lyrics to his #1 hit “Panda.” The video starts off slow enough, with the Brooklyn rapper enunciating through each of the words with his slurred speech. About midway through the video, however, the spirit begins to move him and he mimics the rapid fire delivery found on the song. Thankfully, there’s closed captions through the video so viewers don’t get lost.

salute is back with some new flavor, pianos, and a guest feature from D.R.A.M. This is a soulful number that could double as a club banger and the soundtrack to Sunday mornings at church. salute spoke on the collaboration.

“When I made the track I’d intended it to be a 2 minute gospel instrumental, inspired by being brought up on gospel music played to me by my parents. I then thought it would actually sound interesting in a club context. At the same time, me and D.R.A.M. started following each other on Twitter, and once we’d started messaging each other he had said he was a fan of my music. I sent the same track over to him and here we are!”
