Posse cuts, a form of song that involves verses by four or more artists, have always been common in rap, and occasionally, in R&B and pop music. Famous cuts in the past include Marley Marl’s “The Symphony,” A Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario,” “Triumph” by Wu-Tang Clan, Master P’s “Make ‘Em Say Uhh!,” and more recently, G.O.O.D. Music’s “Mercy,” Odd Future’s “Oldie” and A$AP Rocky’s “1Train.” 2016 saw an increase of posse cuts due to various reasons — one of them being that many new artists emerged.
