REASON Calls on Vince Staples for New "Sauce" Single and Video
Ahead of his debut Top Dawg Entertainment project.
Carson, California rapper REASON is gearing up for the release of his inaugural Top Dawg Entertainment project, and the latest teaser track to release is “Sauce,” a laid-back tune with a thumping bassline and a guest verse from Vince Staples. Following closely in the footsteps of Reason’s last single release — “The Soul (Pt. 2)” — “Sauce” displays Reason’s casual confidence.
The track’s Omar Jones-directed visual shows a top-down perspective of a day in the life of Reason, starting off with a casual cruise around the streets of Los Angeles before taking a somber turn when he reminisces about being accosted by the LAPD as a child and is pulled over in the present day. Atop a sparse-yet-booming piano driven beat from NIL$ and Bizness Boi, Reason delivers vicious lines like “Way, way, way, way, ridin’ ‘round town on Sunset, Cali weed loud like Funk Flex, road trips, low drip, don’t rush s**t, those b***h ass n****s know f**k s**t, don’t know f**k s**t, get chick-checked, treat a queen like a queen, don’t give a b***h s**t” in disarmingly casual fashion.
Staples’ proclivity for witty wordplay is on full display as well, thanks to grin-inducing lines like “Who got the sauce, who got the sauce? Whip the rock with the Voss” and more serious bars like “On the concrete, with my dawgs and a stick like a bomb suite, cookin’ up better duck like a confit, cause it’s on me and a n***a never ever have to warn me.”
Watch “Sauce” above and expect REASON’s new TDE project to arrive later this fall.
