"No Switch" is a song by American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again, released on January 21, 2022, as the third track from his seventeenth mixtape, Colors . In the song, YoungBoy utilizes his raspy voice with a murderous, aggressive cadence as he raps about murder and firearms.
Composition
[edit ]In "No Switch," YoungBoy raps about murder, firearms, ammunition, and firearm attachments such as a switch. Rapping about his dead friends, YoungBoy leaves subliminal disses towards Lil Durk and King Von, similarly to what he does on Bring the Hook and Fish Scale.
Critical reception
[edit ]Pitchfork 's Paul A. Thompson opened his review by noting that the mixtape "opens with a predictably furious suite" and ends his review stating that the song "culminates with closing ad-libs."[1] Anthony Malone from HipHopDX writes that on the song, YoungBoy "continues to bait his opps" and that the track is "nearly foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog for a showdown."[2]
