Xzibit, Dr. Dre, and Ty Dolla $ign bring distinct flavors to the unpredictable “Leave Me Alone.”

Xzibit made a massive return with Kingmaker, and two things stood out to me: he can still rap his arse off, and the mix of younger and older West Coast artists gives the album an authentic regional feel. “Leave Me Alone,” featuring Dr. Dre and Ty Dolla $ign, is one of its standout bangers.

The production we get on “Leave Me Alone” is unique as hell. It has an unorthodox drum pattern, starts and stops more than a malfunctioning Audi, and even brings in some pulpit-like elements. I’m not sure I’ve heard this exact combination before.

Dre sets the tone with an aggressive verse about his street ties and unapologetic attitude toward tricks and haters. Xzibit follows with a slick performance, shouting out his down-to-earth Ginger, brushing aside fake rappers, and flaunting his major figures.

Ty ties everything together with a smooth but gangsta chorus about supporting his bros, spending on women, and making hella cash. Everybody brings a different flavor, and it all works together. The beat keeps you guessing, but the chemistry gives the track its footing.
