When Omarion was officially introduced at a May 2 press conference as the newest member of Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group naysayers didn’t initially understand how the former lead singer from the B2K boy band could possibly add something to the Boss’ budding rap empire. But from the sounds of this single that is featured on “God Forgives, I Don’t,” “O” is ready to bring melodic maturity to his new team. The hard-hitting track produced by Reefa may sound similar to a beat you may have attempted on the lunchroom table but you’ve never made it sound quite like this. As Ross raps about being romantically involved and having as much clout in Miami as Pat Riley, Omarion literally treats the hook as if it’s his last song. You will soon forget that this was the kid who used to sing with his friends about having everything he wanted in his life except a “Girlfriend.” Omarion has grown up and the only thing he leaves listeners wanting more of is his voice.
The best bars by the Boss: Floor seats at the Heat game/ I bag twenty grand nigga peep game/ South Beach making love on the rooftop/ Fucking to the rhythm got her singing like she’s Jill Scott.
