Dre Skuffs, Pawcut and Maxx Gilliam will have you itching pour a glass of your favourite cognac with their surprisingly heartfelt song ‘Sipping Yak’. Skuffs speaks candidly on why he indulges in cognac, whether it be a celebration, a reaction to stress or even a response to loss stating ‘my ace came home from a bid; whole hood came out with a bottle’ showing solidarity for his friend who came out of prison but ‘I overthink when I’m alone may sip and cry’ as a way to numb the pain. Gilliam delivers a soulful vocal delivery over Pawcut’s brooding beat to hit home the sentiment of this song. ‘Sip when we’re happy, sip when we’re stressing’ indeed. – Christian St. Croix
