Is there an artist better at crafting accidental hits than Yo Gotti? Over the past couple years, songs like “Act Right” and “F*ck You” blew up despite initially appearing on mixtapes or being deep album cuts. This time it’s “Down In The DM,” a celebration of what happens when the heart and eyeball emoji correspondence move from public timelines to private ones. The track has become the twerk and club banger of preference as we ease into 2016. It’s as light-footed as we’ve heard Gotti on a record in quite some time, with the usually pensive Memphis native taking a break from his gangster’s insight to have a little fun with Snapchat and FaceTime. It’s like when your uncle shows up to your party and ends up being the life of it.
