Trippie Redd is completely in his bag in “Paperbag Boy.”

One of the quickest rap beefs to cool off in recent memory came from Trippie Redd and Young Thug. What started with a few stray comments during one of Thug’s phone calls turned into a brief back-and-forth before the two quickly patched things up. Now, they’re back in the studio together, and the result is “Paperbag Boy,” a track that feels like a celebratory reset.

The production is instantly noticeable. It carries a bass-heavy, video-game-like energy, almost as if it were designed to sound best through some small-ass Game Boy speakers. It’s unconventional, but it works in its own lane.

Lyrically, both artists stick to what they do best: flexing. From money talk to boss moves, the track is packed with braggadocious energy. Trippie Redd sets the tone early, delivering confident bars and an effortlessly catchy hook that anchors the track.

Young Thug follows with a more melodic and slightly emotional approach than expected, adding contrast to Trippie’s direct delivery. While his contribution is solid, it doesn’t quite reach the same level as Trippie’s performance.

Overall, “Paperbag Boy” is a fun, offbeat collaboration that shows chemistry, even if it doesn’t fully maximize its potential. You be the judge, though.
