Part of the DS2 album, where nearly every track charted on the Hot 100 under streaming-era chart rules. The 808 sub-bass is the defining, standard trap texture on the record rather than a bespoke hook. Instrument choice is approximated from the Metro Boomin/Southside/DJ Spinz/Zaytoven Atlanta trap production camp credited on this record: FL Studio built around a Roland TR-808-style sub bass with Sylenth1/Nexus-style bell and pluck leads for the melodic hooks, not a documented per-song patch sheet.
