Roddy Ricch and Ella Mai are DJ Mustard’s plugs.
Has anyone had a bigger comeback this year than DJ Mustard? After contributing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” hit, Mustard is fully back in the spotlight. This Friday, he will release his highly anticipated 14-track project, Faith Of A Mustard Seed.
The album will include guest appearances from Vince Staples, Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott, and more. Today, a new single from the project, “One Bad Decision,” has hit streaming services.
Since this is DJ Mustard’s track, let’s start with the production. “One Bad Decision” is driven by a reworked version of Wyclef’s “911” beat, with Mustard adding his signature snaps for an extra touch. Over it, Ella Mai and Roddy Ricch take turns exploring the themes of a toxic relationship. Ella delves into intense emotions, referencing loading up rounds and confronting her boyfriend, while Roddy Ricch offers an apology for his infidelity and acknowledges his partner’s need for him. The track stands out for its dynamic interplay and the compelling, raw moments delivered by both artists.
Wyclef was singing his ass off on “911.” My God.
