I haven’t been this excited by a new single drop in ages! This song features a producer who I honestly think is at the top of the list for best beat makers in the underground or in hip-hop period. He’s already produced ‘Infinite Wave’, my ‘Album Of The Year’ so far, and his track record last year spoke for itself. With the teasing of a new record, I’ve only got excitement and anticipation in my heart and soul, and in the meantime, we have this single! So let’s talk about it!
This is the brand new single by powerhouse producer BONEWESO and featuring one of the most underrated MC’s out right now ??? (The Hidden Character) and together they release this beautifully crafted single that defies all expectations!
Right off the fucking bat, we hear that breathtaking jazz instrumentation that gave me goosebumps as soon as it started and continued throughout the whole track. That divine loop with that high note finish towards the end only to come back to the basics of the loop is one of the most beautiful renditions of a sample I’ve heard in my life.
Bone Weso can do no wrong; the way he’s incorporated that instrumental over that skeletal boom Bap beat with the inclusion of those subtle piano keys just comes together in the most divine and powerful pieces of music I’ve heard in the past few years for real.
On to ???. The man who has been killing the game for the past few years, delivering some of the dopest feature verses the game has ever heard across multiple projects, but now he’s decided it’s his time to shine in the spotlight, and the game should be worried because he ain’t one to fuck with.
As usual, he drops his trademark in your face, raw, rough, and rugged delivery on the beat. His lethal pen game and grimy flow make him a force to be reckoned with. When he’s in his zone spitting bars, he can’t be stopped. This song is not even three minutes long, and yet we hear him drop verses, puns, double entendres, street bars, witty bars, and fluent mic work that it sounds like he hasn’t taken a breath the entire song.
Bar after bar after bar, this man doesn’t stop the whole track! Combined with that glorious instrumental, you have a recipe for a single that could rival any others to come out this year or any other!
I’ve literally listened to this track over 25x, no lie, and before night’s end, I’ll probably listen another 25x more. I can’t praise enough the efforts of both men and what they brought to the table, from that immaculate production to the lesson in expert pen game. These two have such a lethally strong chemistry that I fear will run the rest of the competition dry for the rest of the year!
