The SouthSide is a Hip Hop group known for its distinctly Floridian influence.The group is the brainchild of lyricist/producer Daniel "Dub Deuce" Wassef, lyricist/producer A.Nodarse, producer "Private" Ryan Christman, and lyricist/producer Dexter "DbryJ" Bryant. The group's quest to make Hip Hop music beagn in 2004 as a result of the member's desire to create an environment where they could exchange beats, freestyle, and record music. The group's first album, Sounds of the South, Vol. 1, made waves in Tampa and Tallahassee after being leaked before its release date.
The group's unique style can be attributed to their love for Hip Hop and how it manifests itself in Florida. Believing that Florida's diverse nature makes it different from the rest of Dirty South, the group's name is reflective of their mission to produce music that embodies that unique aesthetic. It's obvious that The SouthSide feels very strongly about the state of Florida and its one-of-a-kind status within the Hip Hop Nation.
Each member represents different Floridian cities, different cultures, and different experiences, yet The SouthSide has managed to come together to become one of Florida's most exciting talents. Through their combined talent and effort, The SouthSide continues to usher hip hop into a new age where intelligent and entertaining music is not a paradox, but a reality.

The song "Hold That Heat" by Southside and Future is a classic rap song that talks about gun violence and how the use of a gun can make one feel powerful. The repeated phrase "hold that, hold that heater" emphasizes the message that the gun is a tool of aggression that the singer and their associates utilize to intimidate and control their enemies. The opening lines mention Travis Scott and Cactus Jack, alluding to them as powerful forces in the rap industry.
Throughout the song, Future boasts about his wealth, power, and influence as a successful rapper, frequently mentioning how he has risen from the streets and how he now has many possessions and brings in a lot of money. The use of words like "illegal" and "wanted" suggests that Future may have had a criminal past and that the freedom and success he has now is due to his ability to fly under the radar and avoid legal trouble. Additionally, the verse "I got a main bitch but I mingle" implies that Future may have multiple romantic partners or engage in casual sex frequently.
