Kanye West joins Vic Mensa on this cut, which finds the pair taking swipes at their critics. The pair also collaborated on 'Ye's single "Wolves."
West also produced the boastful track along with Stefan Ponce, Smoke Ono and Mike Dean. Ponce told The Fader the story of the cut: "The original song that 'U Mad' was on was a song called 'You Know Me Too Well,' and it turned into a crazy, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type thing... 'U Mad' got so hot we were like let's just make it the song itself."
Mensa references in the third verse former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice's assault on his then fiancee, now wife, Janay Palmer in an elevator: Swear to God I've been trying to do right But if she bad I might hit a bitch in the elevator like Ray Rice Ray Rice was charged with aggravated assault and suspended for the entire 2014 NFL season.
