“Ronnie Drake,” the latest song from recent TDE signees Isaiah Rashad and SZA, keeps this motif going. Rapping over mellow synths, Rashad discusses the external forces – cops, rivals, life – that make his team and his family so important. SZA soulfully follows suit, acknowledging this support system in all its various manifestations and names. In essence,  “Ronnie Drake” is an extended shout-out. That may sound trite, but  it’s actually quite powerful. These simple acknowledgements help us remember how even the slightest accomplishments are impossible without a dedicated team. In other words, TDE probably laughs when they hear Drake‘s, “All Me.” Watch the video below.
