"BackOutsideBoyz" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake from his collaborative studio album Her Loss (2022) with Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage. [1]
The song was produced by Leyva, Dez Wright, Taz Taylor, and Lil Yachty. In an interview with XXL, Dez Wright goes over the making of "BackOutsideBoyz". [2]
The song generated controversy due to Drake's lyrics about DRAM and Ice Spice, saying ("Try to bring the dram' to me / He ain't know how we 'Cha Cha Slide'") towards DRAM, referencing the "Cha-Cha" and “Hotline Bling” drama in 2015, and ("She a 10 tryin' to rap, it's good on mute") towards Ice Spice, referencing her Twitter post "At least ima 10". [3] [4] [5] [6] DRAM responded on Twitter, calling out Drake in a video, saying, "I pressed his ass! His fucking bodyguards, goddamn—I ain't gonna hold you, his bodyguards went to town on the kid. But his bodyguards did, not his bitch-ass! He ain't touch me, he's a bitch. You know that." [6] [7] Ice Spice followed up by saying nothing happened between her and Drake and that the line wasn’t about her in an interview with Ebro in the Morning. [3] [8] [9]
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. In a review of Her Loss, Craig Jenkins of Vulture compliments the song by saying, "BackOutsideBoyz, a clinic in the album’s flaws", and describes Drake’s flow as "powerful". [10] John Svetz of Paste describes the song as being a "club banger". [11]
