3:26, Maybach, and Warner Bros are not sourced elsewhere in the article
Partly done I mentioned the length where relevant, however why are those labels needed when they are Meek's ones that the album was released through? If you can explain why, I will add in release. --

Otherwise they would be unsourced. I don't think it says anywhere in the article that they were the labels that the album was released by.

"he then wrote a second verse to this" this wording is a bit off. I'd suggest removing that whole sentence. Not sure the particulars of the song's writing process are lead-worthy without the additional context provided in the body.
Is "beat switch" a common term? That's what I find confusing. What does it mean to switch (by reading the article I could figure it out, but alone here it was odd). You could say something like It was recorded at the Ocean Sky Hotel in Miami during the late sessions for the album in September 2012. After rapping his first part, Mill requested a beat switch and finished writing the second verse once it was added. The resulting song is a hip hop number with maximalist and grime elements. It contains piano in the two parts and moves between them with the beat switch.Grk1011 (

mention that the radio stations are in Philadelphia to add context.
the section feels a bit too
WP:PEACOCK with expressions such as "instantly recognized the song's greatness" and "taken aback". The lead mentions that the song received universal acclaim, but after reading the article, I find that a bit odd since it wasn't released as a single, experienced "minor reception" and only made it to the bubbling under chart. Not saying it's a bad song, but it's praise doesn't seem to have translated to anything substantial?
Done for the above; the last one is fixed for PEACOCK but the universal acclaim is about the reviews, not commercial reception and it was actually certification double platinum in the end anyway! --

Composition and lyrics
"The first part representing dreams features.." (check that these refs have this)
Sorry I was saying that if you add my suggestion in italics, just double check that you don't need an additional ref for it.

I was suggesting to add what's in italics to clarify what you're talking about. Remind the reader what the second part was.

"the intro" meaning because it was the first track?
The second mention of the Super Bowl confused me. I then went back and realized the first mention of streams was actually not about the Super Bowl. Reorganize this paragraph for clarity.
The fact that I had to control+F to find that means it should probably be mentioned in full again. The reader doesn't always read the entire at once, typically jumping to a section they're interested in. Mentioning the full name once is enough for a section, not not always for an article. This is extra noticeable here where the last name could also be someone's first name.
