Let me speak from the heart: living in Massachusetts will change you. The fake love, the egos, the cold stares, and those forced smiles — it’s like everybody’s trying to outshine the next person, and no one wants to see you win unless you’re already “there.” That’s exactly why Tee Grizzley and Skilla Baby’s album Controversy hit me like it did.

This wasn’t just music — this was therapy.

And the one track that had me standing ten feet tall?

“Steppers.”

That song makes you feel like nothing — and no one — can touch you.

“Now all the real steppers up your blick in this bitch

I hope a bitch nigga get pistol-whipped to this shit

Every nigga I don’t like gettin’ stripped in this bitch

Any sudden move, boy, you gettin’ hit with this blick, bitch”

Skilla Baby wasn’t just rapping — he was putting emotion into words.

Living here, when you feel disrespected or dismissed, it’s moments like these that Steppers becomes a release. It channels that bottled-up frustration when people play with your character, your energy, or your purpose.

“My lil’ nigga whack shit, he don’t wanna take pics

If you wanna beat that body, then you better hire Blake, jit

My lil’ niggas bake shit, you better send that pape’, bitch”

This isn’t about glorifying violence — let’s be clear.

We don’t condone that.

But Controversy taps into something real — the feeling of being underestimated, of watching people smile in your face while hoping you lose behind your back.

Sometimes this state makes you want to match that energy.

But instead? You hit play. You let the song speak.

Because music like this reminds you that you’re still that one, no matter who doubts you.

Controversy is an album for the overlooked, the fed up, and the ones ready to break generational ceilings. And “Steppers” specifically? That’s for those who’ve been holding it in too long.

Massachusetts, I know you feel it too.

When the world gets cold, music like this reminds you: don’t fold. Ever.

When you move like a stepper, you gotta look like one too.
