HEIZMAN’s “Mai Tai” is a dreamy, trippy rap track that links together T-Pain, Lil Wayne and I-20 into a street-meets-club flow. A bit of trap production sets the stage for HEIZMAN’s flow. Rather than only adding to the story told on Mai Tai, the flow also provides further depth to the backing beat. This is a cohesive effort that stands out from the rest of the tracks entering rotation today.…
