Trizz & MIKE SUMMERS – Fighting Temptations (feat. M I L A) [Single + Video]

Trizz & MIKE SUMMERS link up again for their joint, “Fighting Temptations,” a midtempo banger from Cavi En Cursive. Right from jump, the track hits you with Trizz reflecting on all the BS that comes with a rocky relationship. He’s spitting about being tired and frustrated, but instead of walking away, he’s stuck right in the middle of it. That West Coast cool in his delivery is undeniable–smooth, even when he’s venting about feeling drained and just trying to keep it together.

The beat is pure MIKE SUMMERS magic. It’s a layered mix of deep drum chops and jazzy horns, giving it that chillhop vibe but still carrying that West Coast bass that knocks. You can feel the tension creeping underneath though–it’s mellow, but not relaxing. Then Trizz drops lines like “It’s like we fighting and fussing and then we making up/ Every day is a threat, she tell me we breaking up/ She don’t know all the space I can use that she taking up/ Where we going? Where the fuck is this shit taking us? ,” and you know he’s been carrying that weight for a minute. It’s frank, flat-out, and crazy relatable.

Then you got M I L A in the cut, sliding in with those sultry background vocals. It’s the perfect contrast to Trizz’s steady flow, almost like she’s adding the emotional undertone. Pair that with Victor McCorvey’s story-driven visuals, and it’s a whole mood–a visual and lyrical trip through love when it’s at its messiest.
