Fred again.. and PlaqueBoyMax dropped a remix to their Doechii-sampling track, this time featuring a new verse from Denzel Curry.

In June, Fred again.., Skepta, and PlaqueBoyMax joined forces for "Victory Lap." The track, which features a prominent sample of Doechii and Rico Nasty's "Swamp B***hes," was a mostly unexpected crossover, even if the possibility of Fred and Skepta working together in some capacity was always there.

The original "Victory Lap" was first created on Twitch during a stream with Fred again.., Skepta, and PlaqueBoyMax. It was officially released during Fred's stream on June 17, followed by a pop-up show in Brooklyn later that evening, which was also streamed. The track is a high-energy good time and a bit of a departure from Skepta's usual sound in particular.

Now, they've linked up with Denzel Curry for the remix, the appropriately titled "Victory Lap Two." The track continues the energy displayed on the first one. With it, Curry shows why he's one of the most versatile rappers in the game today.

Skepta's verse is untouched from the original. Unfortunately, he did not come back to deliver a new set of bars. But Denzel Curry enters on the back half of the track, immediately displaying the sense of urgency he never seems to lack on a song. It's rare that a track featuring Curry feels like he's coasting, and he certainly does not coast here. His flow is hard-hitting and the bars are primarily him talking the talk about his haters, his skills, and his watch.

Thanks to his Twitch streams, PlaqueBoyMax has shown that there are some streamers with talent in the hip-hop space. Though Max does rap, his biggest strength is as a producer, which shines through on both versions of this song. Hopefully, he and Fred link up again in the near future, as they've now produced quality results twice.

Fred again.., Skepta, PlaqueBoyMax, & Denzel Curry - "Victory Lap Two"

Quotable Lyrics:

N****s be talking s**t off of the populace
Finna stop poppin' in front of your audience
If you wanna go, you gotta keep that fye
Bitch I'm from the M-I-A-M-I

T.I. has been hinting at his supposed final album Kill The King for quite some time, and it now feels like that moment is getting closer. He recently posted a clip showing himself cutting off his dreadlocks while previewing a new track produced by Pharrell Williams, which has since been released as “Let Em Know.” The song comes across as tough and rhythm driven, tapping into the kind of bounce that has defined much of the Atlanta rapper’s strongest work over the years. It might not fully persuade everyone that he is operating at his absolute peak, but there is no denying the confidence and personality he brings to the instrumental, riding it with an easy swagger and infectious momentum. Now the focus turns to what T.I. ultimately delivers with this farewell project, which fans are hoping arrives sooner rather than later.   

Release Date: January 18, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Kill The King

Quotable Lyrics from Let Em Know

Big dog, all we get is bread, I ain't never scared,
Big flex on a n***a head, what I'm standing on?
Business, big check, we done did that,
Pushing whips back, better give me respect and some more
