Today I’ll be covering the two latest singles by Snotty. As the hype for a new album drop comes closer and closer, we get these two as the appetiser until the future main course.
So, let’s first talk about ‘Love Yourself’ produced by Goodphella. At 2 minutes and 3 seconds, this track has a lot more mellow vibe than his usual shit. When I think of Snotty, I think Pro Dillinger hardcore style Boom Bap/Grimy shit, but he’s decided to take a smoother route, and I actually fuck with it.
You hear those melodic chords in the background with that chipmunk-style female voice loop over a Kanye ‘College Drop Out’ type beat.
Across this one, you hear a softer, more reminiscent side of Snotty, a song of reassuring himself to ‘love yourself’ and bringing up various accomplishments in his personal life he’s overcome and to give himself some love. Absolutely love the switch-up, and across such a short period of time, he really makes a heartfelt statement, and I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing more of this side if he ever chooses to show it in the future.
Now, the second single ‘Get The Chance’ also produced by Goodphella. This one is 2 minutes and 20 seconds, and this beat from the get-go sounds classical/theatrical in nature with a slow-paced, skeletal beat. The kind of instrumental that forces Snotty to up his game and be the ringleader of the track with the beat taking a step back.
On this one, just like the other single, it sounds like he’s showing his sentimental side, talking about his trials and tribulations. The chorus makes that statement clearly: ‘I’m leaving the streets alone once I get the chance too.’
The statement is rather obvious in intentions, and I feel if these are all part of a future album, that he’s probably re evaluating his life and career and goals. Either way, this possible new side of Snotty is one I’d be very interested and curious to see!
Either way, revealing or otherwise. Doesn’t change the fact that Snotty is one of the strongest lyricists and rappers in the underground period. So I know whatever direction he takes, the record will be dope all around!
