Good \u2014 or at least entertaining \u2014 R&B<\/a> often succeeds on how well it embraces the highest of stakes. When it comes to the expansive inner worlds of rhythm and blues, the flirting is Machiavellian, everyone spits game like the Bard, and the subsequent sex is never just sex; it\u2019s life-changing. Jacquees<\/a> consistently upholds this ideal. On \u201cVerify,\u201d featuring Young Thug<\/a> and Gunna<\/a>, he spins a ludicrous hook over gentle strings and stuttering drums: \u201cYes, I love your physical, but it\u2019s your energy \/ I got no fear to put you on a pedestal, but are you trustin\u2019 me.\u201d In the real world, this would be an embarrassing come-on, but the Cash Money singer\u2019s silky voice expertly sells the theatrics.<\/p>\n

Young Thug and Gunna are very concerned with verifying that their lovers are trustworthy, thorough, and worthy of their love. According to Thug, Lamborghinis and Ferraris are one way to be verified, but Gunna doesn\u2019t want to verify his significant other until he determines how much lean she can sip. The entire process seems vague and likely ill-equipped to authenticate a long string of potential partners. Fortunately, the mentor and prot\u00e9g\u00e9 have innate chemistry that lets their back-and-forth, 16-bar verse sound immaculate.<\/p>\n

In December, during the midst of his \u201cKing of R&B\u201d<\/a> run, Jacquees described what differentiates his sophomore album from his debut, 4275<\/em>. \u201cSubject matter, of course it\u2019s always going to be like the same type of subject, but in a different way of saying it,\u201d Jacquees said. \u201cDifferent production, this time I\u2019m trying to make you dance a little more. I\u2019m just on a different type of cool. I just want you to get out your seat if you\u2019re in a club or if you\u2019re somewhere I want you to turn it up and jam. I want you to feel like you want to dance, like you want to step or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
