The JackBoys' song "GATTI" features verses from rappers Pop Smoke and Travis Scott. The song begins with AXL's introductory ad-lib "Huh?" followed by Pop Smoke's hook about being tired of people pretending to be someone they are not while living in a trap house. Pop Smoke's signature deep voice and melodic flow shine through in the verses, as he raps about his hometown of Canarsie, Brooklyn, and the gang culture that he grew up around. Pop Smoke's verse also includes references to driving through his neighborhood while dropping off cocaine and laughing at some of the people he sees.
Travis Scott's verse follows, as he raps about his success and wealth, bragging about his ability to afford designer clothing and expensive jewelry. The lyrics are filled with references to cocaine and partying, and the chorus repeats the line "my bitch loves Coco," which could be interpreted as a reference to both the fashion brand Chanel and the cocaine subculture. The song is filled with trap beats and utilizes elements of both Pop Smoke's signature drill sound and Travis Scott's more experimental style.
Overall, "GATTI" is a high-energy track that showcases the talents of both Pop Smoke and Travis Scott, while also highlighting the merging of two different styles of rap. The subtext of the song, with its references to wealth, drugs, and materialism, is nothing new in the genre, but the unique blend of these themes with elements of gang culture and street life gives the song an edge that sets it apart from others in the same vein.
