"RIP Young" is a song by American rapper Isaiah Rashad from his second studio album The House Is Burning (2021). Produced by Kal Banx, it contains samples of "Govinda" by J.O.B. Orquestra and "Cheese and Dope" by Project Pat.
Background
[edit ]Isaiah Rashad wrote the song at his mother's house in 2017[1] and previewed it during an Instagram Live stream later that year.[2] The beat was originally different and switched because he and the producers believed it "sounded cool". They wanted to use it, so they asked Lil Uzi Vert to collaborate on the track.[1]
Composition
[edit ]The song contains elements of Southern hip hop.[3] [4] In a laid-back tone, Isaiah Rashad raps about staying loyal to his friends and working hard in the first verse.[5] He also mentions hotboxing in his car, doing donuts and avoiding death in the song.[4]
Remix
[edit ]An official remix of the song was released on November 19, 2021 from Homies Begged, the deluxe edition of The House Is Burning. It features American rappers Project Pat and Juicy J, who replace Isaiah Rashad's second verse and a few bridges. Pat raps about his outlook on hip-hop, using cinnamon and pancake innuendoes, while Juicy J takes a shot at rappers whose success was short-lived.[5]
