“Rich Flex” sets the stage for Drake & 21 Savage’s collaborative album, Her Loss. In its first half, the duo dish out their signature styles, with Drake delivering a catchy chorus, and 21 flaunting his lavish lifestyle — after being asked to do so in Drake’s chorus, hence the title “Rich Flex.”

In a change of pace from the smooth-riding first half, and the even more hypnotic segue, the track goes into high-gear with sinister piano chords & aggressive hip-hop production. Drake specifically begins the second half of “Rich Flex” paying direct homage to 21 Savage’s 2015 single, “Red Opps,” where he raps:

I’m on that Slaughter Gang shit, (Shit) Murder Gang shit (Shit)
Slaughter Gang shit, (Shit) Murder Gang shit (Shit)
I’m on that Slaughter Gang shit, (Shit) Murder Gang shit (Shit)
Slaughter Gang shit, (Shit) Murder Gang shit (Shit)

Drake not long after delivers listeners a fast-paced flow, and solidifies himself as a veteran in the rap game.
