Now, for some reason, everybody thought that Lotto was putting out a track titled Technique featuring the legendary, the iconic, the OG in the hip-hop genre. Rock him. Why do people think this was coming out is beyond me? But of course, doing my due diligence as a journalist, a self-proclaimed journalist, so it's totally legit, you know what I'm saying? I found out that apparently. Finally, Lotto posted a snippet of the track Technique feature featuring Raqim rapping in 2021. And then Lotto captioned it, technique. So, of course, fans was like, well, obviously, the track must be called Technique.

And with her putting a snippet of Raqim rapping is a feature from Raqqin. So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. but also in 2022 the song put it on the floor featuring Cardi B sampled Raqam's verse from the song Microphone Feen. I had no idea

that this was a thing. This led to some, this led some people to believe that Alato and Raqin was working on like a full collaboration. I don't know if it was like a collab tape or it was just this specific song technique but to clear it up even further so he went from 2021 2022 and then now in 2023 Lotto tweeted technique with a fire emoji which led to more speculation that

the track was actually coming out but since today the track has not been released and there's no update from Lotto or Vakim's camp on whether the track is ever going to come out. It's a possibility that the song was scrapped, of course, or that it's still in the works, but only time we will tell, oh, I mean, only time we would, that's not how you say the phrase. That's my fault. Only time would tell if a technique will ever come out as, seems like Lotto is beyond positive that this track is fire as she's in three different years tweeted or played a snippet of the track or just had songs or current songs like put it on the floor sampling Raq Kim's music so I think in general we will end up getting a lot of

a rock Kim collab but it's very random it's very random but with Lotto and her lyrical ability I guess to pair herself up with the likes of a Rakim will kind of help her in that lyricism credibility but I already think Lotto is one of the best honestly I think Lotto is the best rapper and her peer group

and as far as her peer group I think it's like Megan of course Megan the Stallion Ice Spice of course Glorilla Bia I would say Cardi B but I think Cardi B is so far gone

as far as popularity that she's literally battling it out with Nikki. Like, I don't know what it is, but Lotto, well, no, Cardi and Nicky is like the, it's like the comic book version of Marvel versus D.C. If you choose one side, you better not cross over to the other and vice versa. So I think Cardi B is so far gone that she's now competing with the likes of a Nikki instead of actually being compared to the lottos of the world and the making the stallions and the glorillas and the ice spice i don't know how but in just because it's been what four or five years since that or since invasion of privacy i don't know when they came

out but basically i think currently lotto is the best rapper amongst her pure group so i kind of makes sense how she would be able to get a rock camp collab because i don't know the last time rock camp even put out music but hold up let's see Last time Raq Kim actually put out music was in, if I can find it. Like, does this man even do features? Last time this man put out music was in 2009. Actually, I'm lying. 2021, he did a track for the Black Messiah,

which is a movie, Judas and the Black Messiah. And 2022, is that the same year? Let me see. Okay, so no, Black Messiah was in 2021. 2022, he did a track with Michael Patrick Kelly. I don't know who that is, no disrespect. And the track was titled Wonders featuring Raq Kim. So he's done music in the past.

But I do believe that this track with Lotto would probably be more popular than both of those tracks. Even though the Judas and the Black Messiah movie from what I've heard was well received, I still believe a track with Raq Ham Alato would be an unorthodox type of collab. that will work out in a way that I don't think people are ready for. And that's kind of like, for me, I'm comparing it to when Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow collab. I know y'all going to think I'm crazy, but as far as the unorthodox left field collabs, I feel like this could blow up in the same realm of an industry baby, like Little

Nas X and Jack Harlow. But anyways, we'll see. only time will tell if this song will actually even come out. So with me talking about it, I don't even know if this track's going to actually come out, but I do have high hopes for a track that has Raq-Hem on it always. Like lyricism is obviously going to be in play, and it's going to be the highest as far as we've ever heard

because Raq-Ham is one of those where he's one of the best rappers to ever live, and Lotto currently is the best rapper amongst her peers. So click my link to tree in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Lotto and the rumor track technique that she has with Raq Kim? And do you think this track would ever come out?
