The song, which was one of the mixtape’s high points, sets up the rockstar anthem “Lord Knows” which features Dom Kennedy and Rick Ross trading stories about the lavish lifestyle of rap stars.
Ty continued his money talk on “Dead Presidents,” with assistance from Juicy J and Rich Homie Quan (who he recently announced he’s doing an album with). The Intro “NDK (N-s Don’t Know)” featuring Big Sean reaffirms the Taylor Gang signee’s commitment to realness and money over everything, while highlighting the ample quantities of fake ballers that permeate hip hop. Topically, Ty stuck to what he knows best: homies, “hoes” and…hydro. Though it's not hard to interpret the message on Sign Language, Ty showed more versatility than some of his earlier works. Even though he didn’t have DJ Mustard on this one, Dolla $ign did enlist the services of some A-list talent to help give this mixtape a more well-rounded sound and also handled a fair amount of production duties along with his hit-making team, D.R.U.G.S. On his latest mixtape, Sign Language, the “Irie” crooner gave fans something similar to his Beach House mixtapes.
From his hit single “Or Nah” to his features on songs like Lupe Fiasco’s “Next to It,” the long-haired ladies' man has bridged the gap between laid back and turnt up. Ever since being named as one of XXL’s 2014 Freshman Class, LA’s king of “Ratchet R&B” Ty Dolla $ign has been on a tear.
