He squinted at the phone, “Who the hell is Lil Pimp?” Jo laughed, “It's Lil Pump not Lil Pimp, you idiot.” “Whatever. The song still isn't up to snuff. Let me play real music.” Ash said and changed the track. Jo frowned as some old music without any singing filled the room, “Boring! How can you listen to this!
