Written by Alexandre van den Hoef, Cameron Jibril Thomaz, Christopher van den Hoef, Felix Garza, and Jacob Garza, while it was produced by DVBBS, themselves, “Sh Sh Sh (Hit That)” mixes defined hip-hop with EDM warping a unique sound that only DVBBS could possibly pull off. The track uses a sample from urfavxboyfriend which DVBSS accidentally stumbled across on TikTok, loving the line and deciding that it deserves to be made into a full-length track. They managed to get Wiz Khalifa to flesh out the track with rap verses that showcase his effortless flow and his incredible professionalism. It’s no wonder that Wiz Khalida is a global superstar as his lyricism is phenomenal and he captures the listener from start to finish. Goldsoul adds his engaging rap verse that adds depth to “Sh Sh Sh (Hit That)”. The track wraps urfavxboyfriend’s addicting hook throughout the track, overlaying it with the unstoppable bass to create a unique rhythm that is set to hit it big.
Produced, directed, and edited by Yofray Ray, the music video sees DVBBS talking to their manager who introduces them to Goldsoul and urfavxboyfriend, lining up a gig after hearing the iconic “Sh Sh Sh” line. Then the music video splits into a performance visual and a narrative, as we watch all three artists perform at a club together,, with Wiz Khalifa dropping intercut scenes during his epic flow verses. The narrative follows a guy who just isn’t having the best day, and decides to attend the gig, only when he finally gets there the door is shut and it states that it’s sold out – continuing his bad luck. It’s an interesting story-telling concept that allows all four artists to fully shine and showcases urfavxboyfriend and Goldsoul as rising rappers that are surely going to make huge names of themselves in the rap and hip-hop industry.
