I’ll be straight with you all, there’s only a handful of artists that can leave a lasting impression on me. I have to review almost two to three projects/singles a day just to keep up with demand, so you can imagine how easy it can be to get burned out or forgetful over previous artists I’ve worked on. But that’s why this man is special; after his one collaboration album earlier this year, I haven’t been able to let go of the anticipation for a new record, and today is that day. To say I’m happy is an understatement! Let’s talk about it!
This is the latest single by my main man MC Just Mcfly (greatest rap name in the game), this time with producer Stack Moolah, and together they dropped a two-minute and 14-second banger that I feel everyone should hear at least once!
Let’s start with the production! I can’t tell people enough I am a sucker for jazz instrumentals in hip-hop, so of course I love this one! With those looping jazz progressions combined with those bass strings, it all comes together as smooth as butter!
This beat actually reminds me of the soundtrack for the ‘Lethal Weapon’ series! Right before an intense scene, there was always a badass jazz instrumental, and that’s how I feel on this! Especially considering the heavy lyrics and themes!
This is the kind of production you can listen to for days on end! It’s smooth, relaxing, impactful, and soothing to the body! I can imagine myself walking my dog through a beautifully lit forest listening to this! Again, jazz, in my opinion, is the greatest influence in hip-hop history, and this was done justice!
Now, back to Mcfly. On this beat, he’s pulling up his Calvin Klein boxers, taking a deep breath, and dropping a verse WAY ahead of its time (I’m guessing you guys aren’t ready for this yet. But your kids are gonna love it!)
He’s riding through this beat like a skateboard and charging his pen with 1.21 gigawatts of power to send his competitors into the past, struggling to get their life and career back together again!
He’s gonna burn you so bad you’re gonna have nightmares like your mum at a younger age trying to hit on you, or your dad being a bitch. He’s gonna spin your head with all his lyricism and detailed stories. You’ll be thinking you’ve just listened to rock and roll, but it’s just the genius of McFly!
At the end of the day, whether you’re driving a DeLorean or any other type of car, or even just walking! This is the kind of track you need playing in your ears! It’s beautiful, powerful, and infectious! And who knows what’s next in the ‘future’?
