Funny story this. After reviewing the last single he sent me, I let Spotify just play, and this song came up! I fucked with it while it was on, then didn’t think much else until I got a message asking to review this exact track! Everything came full circle in the end!
So, new track by UK rapper ‘OnlyOneOnlySon’ and produced by ‘Famskii’. Right off the bat, I didn’t care what this sounded like. The artwork is dope as fuck as well as the song title, so I was going to love this either way. And lucky for me, it ended up being a good track!
Right off the bat, the production is hectic! With those smooth jazz chords playing in an infectious loop that just rolls off the beat and makes it feel like heaven in the ear of the listener! On top of that, we have what sounds like hip hop meets synth pop.
When I listen to this production, it just reminds me of 80’s rap mixed with ‘Tears For Fears’ type sounds and inspiration with those dreamy and ambient atmosphere surrounding the jazz and rap parts of the song to tie up into a stoners paradise of a single that would be a perfect anthem for the annual 4/20!
Now, OnlyOne, the man who impressed like no other the last time I heard him, and he’s only doing more so. With his smooth delivery across this beat, his witty yet insightful lyricism, and passionate flow and cadence on the track, makes him the perfect candidate for the powerfully crafted instrumental we have in front of us!
He seems solidly focused on making sure each and every word and breath he takes on this is lined up perfectly to the beat at hand. They both complement each other the way I haven’t heard many pull off!
Overall, a bloody good single and performance by the duo involved. Amazing artwork and song title and just hits in every direction possible! No complaint can be found!
