"Some Cut" is a song recorded by American hip hop group Trillville featuring guest vocals by rapper Cutty Cartel. The track was released as the second single from Trillville's debut album, The King of Crunk & BME Present: Trillville & Lil Scrappy (2004). "Some Cut" was the group's biggest hit single; it peaked at number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005. The song was a popular ringtone for mobile phones in the U.S. at the time of its release; it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on the strength of those sales in 2006.[2]
The song's beat, programmed by American rapper Lil Jon, is built around a sample of a squeaking chair, purported to sound like a mattress creaking during sex. Consequently, Trillville's lyrics take a sexually explicit approach. The song was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, and is an example of the city's club-oriented crunk subgenre, popularized by Lil Jon in the 2000s. Its distinctive squeak sample has been referenced by several international pop and rap artists, particularly among Korean pop groups.
