Holy shit, what a collection of MC’s on one track! This just came up on my Spotify algorithm and hit me like a shot to the face! I couldn’t believe my eyes and so of course with a powerhouse single roster like this, I had to cover it!
This is the latest single produced by ARNAM and features
– Estee Nack
– Maze Overlay
– Solute
And man, this thing is 3 minutes and 25 seconds of pure undeniable hip-hop fun! Let’s start with that instrumental.
This beat has a real disco meets rap feel to it. You’ve got those sci-fi feel synth vibe chords in continuous progression with those mellow almost subtle claps in the background that give the funky beat its extra satisfying boom!
This is the perfect song for showcasing MC’s, there’s no weird beat skip or switch up to ruin the vibe, nothing but pure hypnotic production to keep you plugged in and focused on the 3 superb verses presented to you!
On that topic, these 3 have such a fantastic chemistry and one I never would have thought of had this track not shown me otherwise!
We start the song off with the one and only Estee Nack! The man who has made a career off his bi-lingual splash rhythm where he has complete freedom on the beats, his iconic freelance flow where his words and phrases land wherever and whenever he wants to! Pair that with his trademark street charisma and this verse becomes yet another masterclass in rhythm and performance!
Speaking of masterclass, next up is one of my personal favourites Maze Overlay! The man with an album consistency longer than most discographies! He’s back on this track with his trademark smooth and compelling delivery with that iconic Arizona swag! He moves through this beat like a man who knows he’s the top dog and just out here doing side missions!
As calm and collected as his verses are, they are simultaneously razor sharp with his lethal vocabulary, his genius one-liners and phrases as well as his perfect rhythm and flow that makes him THE MAN to beat!
To close the track off, we have Solute who blasts the track off with his intense and passionate performance, with high energy and conviction! A more explosive delivery than the last two and equally as impressive!
I love how he has this specific style of wordplay where at the end of every second bar, he’ll pronounce the final word with a massive bang at the end! Like the real-life equivalent of capitals lowercase! It’s captivating and had me waiting for each time and what word he was going to let it off on!
He’s like a lyrical juggernaut running through the finish line with the microphone baton handed by Maze and blitz through the lap while leaving a trail of fire on both ends of the field!
As expected, this was a fantastic performance by all involved! From that infectious beat to the energy of all three men! This is a single for the ages!
