Man, this is quite the interesting single! As far as the rapper being someone I’ve never heard of to the producer being a main man to me, this combination intrigued me to no end, and soon you’ll find out why!
This is the latest single by MC jean111e and producer Ant Kelly, and together they dropped 2:53 of some of the most interesting rap I’ve heard in a minute!
Let’s start with that instrumental by Ant. This thing feels like if Willy Wonka turned into a trap star. It’s so unique! We have what sounds like synth chords bouncing and plucked up and down as they slowly fade out before returning a few seconds later!
It also features with it a subtle drum pattern and some groovy bass lines! When all of this is combined, it definitely gives off ‘Art Rap’, ‘Experimental Rap’ vibes based on that beat, and as different as it is, the more you listen to it, the more it grows on you! Definitely nothing like it out there!
Now, let’s talk about the rapping. Starting off with Jean. I love her swagger and energy in her verse! You can hear her hustle, enthusiasm, and passion for the game within her words!
She features crisp delivery, smooth flow, infectious rhythm, and street vocabulary across her bars and verse!
I love the grit attached to the words she spits! She always delivers her sentences with an extra spark attached to them!
Although brief, her verse definitely set the tone well for the rest of the song to come and built a strong foundation for the atmosphere and for Ant to pick up off from as he closed the song off with his verse!
Now, this is the Ant I’m familiar with! The MC. Didn’t even know he could produce, but regardless, on the mic, he’s unstoppable, and on this track, he provides a short but powerful burst of energetic and dynamic vocal performances with sharpened lyricism, fast-paced flow, and distinctive rhythm to match the aura provided by jean in the first verse!
He’s able to match the chemistry well and help pull off a solid second verse that remains in keeping with the song’s theme and atmosphere while also distinguishing his own pace, tone, and cadence on the track!
Overall, a great, fun little single with a distinctive instrumental and two solid verses, each their own style and formula!
