Producer Mr. Green has experienced a renaissance recently because of his song “If I Don’t Go to Hell,” a track originally produced in 2011. Ten years later, the song goes viral and has seen two remixes, one by Trippie Redd and one by KRS-One. The Trippie one features some decent bars and really surprised me, because I don’t always see Trippie as this lyrically intricate artist. That’s my bad, but we’re not really here to apologize for misjudging.

With that said, let’s talk the KRS-One version.

The KRS-One version of “IIDG2H” is more boombap-friendly, like the original beat and the Pacewon/Vinnie Paz remix from 2015. KRS-One is one of the GOATs for a reason and he doesn’t disappoint on this one. That is, aside from the fact we only get a single verse from him on it. However, a verse from a Living Legend that still stands up against your standard fare today? Yeah, I’m content with just a verse. I also loved the interpolation of a Jadakiss line in the early part of the verse as well, which sets up KRS-One to deliver some “no one’s beating me, even in 2022” vibes.
