In addition to Kelly Rowland, The-Dream calls on another one of Destiny’s children for his album IV Play. On “Turnt,” Beyoncé taps into her ratchet side as she trades provocative lines with the “Single Ladies” hitmaker.
“People think I’m crazy, but I love you cuz you crazy too,” sings B, while proclaiming, “Turn up!”
And what would a ratchet record be without 2 Chainz? Tity Boi adds a verse about drinking his lady’s bathwater and umm, satisfying her (“I kill that thang, whoa manslaughter”).
The-Dream’s entire album, featuring Jay-Z, Big Sean, Pusha T, Gary Clark Jr., and more, is now available to stream on YouTube ahead of its May 28 release.
