The trio celebrates mothers in a way that only they can, and the result is both tender and cautionary at the same time on some level, who doesn’t know that feeling of “I ain’t trying to let my mama down,” even if it is by any means necessary. “ Proud,” which features the EP’s only guest verses, courtesy of YG and Offset, arrives to give all the flexing a higher purpose than simple egoism.
