Shy Glizzy and NBA Youngboy pulled up with an anti-Valentine’s Day single, “Fools Fall N Love.” The Buddha Bless-produced banger is an upbeat and bubbly anthem that brings together Shy and YB’s melodic flow. The production has a video game-esque feel to it. Meanwhile, Shy Glizzy and YB come through with earworm melodies that will undoubtedly get stuck in your head.
NBA Youngboy and Shy Glizzy developed a strong rapport over the years. Their latest collaboration continues their hot streak which begins with fan favorites like “Where We Come From” and “Hard.” However, YB recently stated that Glizzy stands among his top 5 rappers of all time, along with French Montana, Yeat, Young Thug, and Soulja Slim. In response, Glizzy explained how they have a mutual love for one another that’s much deeper than music.
“You should just fuck with a n***as based upon he a real n***a and you took a liking to that n***a, you know what I’m sayin’? That’s why I respect YB so much because it’s like, we can call each other any time, we could pick up the phone. We gon’ make music, damn near all the time,” he said during an interview with Akademiks. He also suggested that the two of them have even more music in the stash beyond their recent collab.
Fans have eagerly awaited the new single from Shy Glizzy after he previewed a snippet of “Fools Fall N Love” on Instagram. The song comes on the heels of a series of singles he dropped before the new year. He unleashed “Underrated” in late November before quickly following it up with “Slime-U-Out” ft. 21 Savage. He’s built strong momentum in the past few months as he gears up for the release of his upcoming project, Flowers.
Quotable Lyrics
Put on Law & Order, had to tell that bitch that I’m her judge
They get slaughter, slaughter, I’ma wave that stick ’round just for fun
She her mama daughter, man, I love this bitch, she one on one
Turnt that bitch up, then I count my cuts, you know I burn
