Using the metaphor of the “rat race,” it vividly portrays people worn down by relentless competition.

Rapper Starlito, who shot up to rap stardom through collaborations with Young Jeezy and Yo Gotti, has consistently released EPs and albums over the years.

However, starting with the 2020 release of Paternity Leave, he seemed to take a break—as the title suggests, perhaps a parental leave—and had no major activity for a while.

In 2023, he’s finally set to release a new album.

Retire My Jersey is a track from that album.

His razor-sharp rhymes haven’t dulled one bit, so be sure to also check out the album LOVE DRUG, dropping on December 16.
