"4Batz isn't waiting quietly for his debut album to arrive. With Still Shinin' slated to drop September 12, the Dallas-born rapper-singer is feeding anticipation with "my lil shootah," a moody, R&B-laced single that continues to showcase his unconventional approach to songwriting. Known for blunt lyricism and an ability to bend genres into his own shape, 4Batz delivers something that feels both throwback and contemporary, tapping into the minimalist intimacy of 2010s Drake while drawing from the smoother textures of '90s slow jams."
"The production on "my lil shootah" is stripped down, airy, and cinematic in its restraint. Rather than piling on heavy instrumentation, the beat relies on space - letting 4Batz's vocals carry the weight. The sparseness only amplifies his delivery, making every word cut sharper and every melody float longer. It's a stylistic choice that feels deliberate, positioning the track as both a nod to R&B traditions and a step toward something more genre-fluid."
"Within the first minute, 4Batz is blunt about desire, leaving nothing to interpretation: "This time, can we f**k and just do it with no rubbers? Girl, it's no damn rush, we can do it in slow motion." It's raw, unapologetic, and in line with the straightforward style that has become part of his identity."

Sparse instrumentation amplifies delivery and accentuates melodic lines, making each word and melody more pronounced. Lyrically the song is blunt and explicit about desire while retaining a vulnerable tone. 4Batz balances rap's edge with R&B smoothness and demonstrates genre-fluid songwriting that feels both throwback and contemporary.
