While Kartel’s work with Dre Skull can be divisive, “Go Go Wine” is a universally captivating track. With its brooding tone, the underscores a different Worl’ Boss whose vocals are looser and less frantic here than in his earlier seminal work; the result is a darkly libidinous offering that is much more about Kartel’s raw persona on the mic than it is about a stripper. —Saxon Baird
