It’s a game of getting the other person to hit the block button first. But that would never be Doja Cat, because frankly she could do the back and forth all day — and she has.

Flatbush Zombies’ Meechy Darko has teamed up with Freddie Gibbs and DJ/producer A-Trak for a new song, “On God,” off his upcoming solo debut, Gothic Luxury.
