R&B singer Robin Thicke recently secured his first number one Billboard hit with “Blurred Lines” and he’s looking to keep that positive energy going with the follow up single.

Titled “Give It 2 U,” Thicke continues his tradition of collaborating with high-profile rappers; hip-hop’s current go-to emcee, Kendrick Lamar, was chosen to grace the track.

Similar to “Blurred Lines,” the lyrics are surprisingly raunchy (‘I got a kiss for you / A little Thicke for you / a big **** for you), but the average listener may let it slide because the track is deceptively smooth.

“Give It 2 U” is filled with electronic dance music production, combined with Robin Thicke’s falsetto and A+ plus bars from Kendrick, all setting the tone for another hit for the husband of actress Paula Patton.
