Four in Roman Numerals is “IV” –but “IV Real” by K.O.D. and Ora Slick is really focused on another meaning of IV. The Ehanyes-produced song–over melancholic trap and echoing sirens–is an injection of real, mainlined with sickening accuracy. K.O.D. plays the manic dope dealer–washing down paranoia with brown liquor while his voice cracks between anger and pain. Ora Slick is the foil–providing concise raps with enough slickness to warrant the name. Together, the duo’s hot/cold dynamic allows them to deliver a perfect shot of anxiety ridden trap–capable of soundtracking a banger or that moment when you don’t know who could be knocking on the door.

After releasing the remix with Quality Control’s Skippa Da Flippa back in July, Boston’s own Pada Esco calls on the services of 4Dot to shoot the visual for the original version of the Johnny Guapo-produced track, “Ringing.” Shot by @PXVCEGODFILMS out in Atlanta, the visual opens up with audio of Mitch (played by Mehki Phifer)’s famous scene in the 2002-film, Paid In Full.

A nigga like me man, I love the game, I love the hustle man. I be feeling like one of them ball player niggas you know … like Bird, Magic or something. Yeah, you know a nigga got dough, a nigga can leave the league; but, if I leave … the fans still gon’ love me, man?
