Background and composition

"Litty" is a hip hop and trap song. The rappers talk about their luxurious lifestyles with "machismo-like" lyrics. Due to his heavy use of AutoTune, Tory Lanez's feature was initially mistaken for Travis Scott.[2] Meek Mill and Tory Lanez both take shots at Drake; Lanez references Quentin Miller, whom Mill accused as a ghostwriter of Drake in a number of his songs.[3]

Music video

The music video was released on May 6, 2017, Meek Mill's 30th birthday. It features a crew of young hustlers, including Mill and Lanez, who pull off credit card scams.[4] The police get involved and attempt to hinder their operations, but the criminals evade them.[5] Meek and Tory also hang out at an airport and flex.[6]

Remixes

American rapper Joyner Lucas released a remix of the song on November 20, 2018, entitled "Litty Freestyle", as a diss track targeting Tory Lanez and Trippie Redd.[7] Lanez responded the next day with a remix of the song as well, titled "Litty Again Freestyle".[8]
