Laf0822 came in swinging with his latest single “Imma Dog,” a bold, bass-heavy declaration that lives right at the intersection of confidence and chaos. The title says it all, this track doesn’t tiptoe around its message. It’s a raw, unapologetic track for anyone who remembers the wild days of not caring about being “the dog” in the relationship, and actually wearing that badge with pride.

From the jump, Laf0822 sets the tone with that hook: “Bitch, I’m a dog… I can’t love a bitch.” It’s gritty, blunt, and straight out of the playbook of early 2010s trap legends, but with a fresh, modern bounce that shows Laf isn’t trying to copy anyone’s sound. He’s carving out his own pocket, mixing sharp, percussive bars with a delivery that drips personality.
Production-wise, “Imma Dog” goes hard. The beat knocks, it’s layered with 808s that hit like a gut punch, paired with crisp hi-hats and a dark, minimal synth loop that gives the whole track that late-night, street-flex energy. Every element feels deliberate, nothing overdone, nothing missing. The flow stays locked in, switching from aggressive to playful in just the right moments.

Laf0822’s writing sits somewhere between humor and dominance. He drops bars that are wild but clever, like “She allergic to broke niggas, and I’m an anesthetic” a line that shows he knows how to throw punchlines with a smirk. There’s a self-awareness in his lyrics that keeps the track from feeling one-dimensional. Sure, he’s calling himself a “dog,” but it’s more about reclaiming that identity, owning it, and flipping the old-school “player” trope into something entertaining.
The hook repetition works like a chant “I’m a dog. Woof.” simple but sticky. It’s exactly the kind of line that makes a crowd go nuts at a live show. The whole record has that energy: built for speakers, not just headphones.
