PDA.GO - Pissed Off (Video)
Shoutout to Mission City for closing our weekly dip right at the buzzer with the last submission! He introduced us to rapstress PDA.GO's newest release is titled “Pissed Off.” In this track, PDA.GO vents her frustration about the hate, envy, and jealousy she faces from those who smile in her face but plot against her behind her back. The viewing is an emotional eruption in melancholy form, where you can hear PDA.GO's pain in her lyrics. Despite experiencing this kind of trauma, it's her bounce back that should worry them. She tends to come back with force and as a threat when they least expect it. I'm excited to see what's next in PDA.GO's musical journey, especially with this release, indicates her unique style. There's more to be heard, and it's a must for anyone following her work.
