The main man is back! He’s been on quite the legendary run lately. With considerable singles and dope EP’s he’s here shooting all the shots! Now, this time with a brand new producer (to me anyway), so it’s exciting to see what they have to cook up! So let’s talk about it!
This is the brand new single by MC superstar FlyG and Producer KeiRY Beats, and together they drop a fresh 2 minutes and 06 seconds of pure energy and artistry!
Let’s start with that beat! This one feels a lot more raw and stripped back than other beats I’ve heard FlyG on! From elements including those shredding synth strings to those droning drums, which come together for a skeletal yet abstract instrumental!
There’s a part around 35 seconds in where the drums and strings just repeat themselves in a stuck loop that lasts for about 10 seconds, and that shit was my favourite part for its experimental and ambient vibe!
Even towards the end, we have a slight tone shift with the introduction of an electric guitar harmony to close the track off. I liked how they decided to shift the pace right at the very end, keeping you on your toes as a listener!
This might be one of my favourite iterations of FlyG to date! Because it makes me observe how he can operate and deal under such drastically different sonic conditions, and well, as I’ll talk about right now, we will see the answer to that!
My main (as per usual) kills it!
Now, what’s different on this track is I feel Fly changes his verse tempo and goes a bit faster in delivery! I feel on his other EP he was trying a bit more methodical approach, but on here he’s further experimenting, and I love it!
Still smooth flow, and when it comes to his lyricism, he’s reached a whole new level on this one! One line I want to point out that I legit ended up replaying 10x before I could figure out what he said was towards the last 40 seconds he goes ‘Men are Men and Mice Are Mice’. I legit got goosebumps on that line before I even knew what he said!
His delivery reminded me of Big Pun’s ‘Twinz’ song with that insane tongue twister line!
But of course, take that line away and you’ve still got incredible wordplay such as ‘Prepare Your Armour, This is the type of music you need more than secret service than the presidential election with Obama’ or ‘I’m a lead farmer, largest corporations pharma’.
Again, he’s utilising and building his craft of the ‘one-liner’ lane and he’s getting better by the day! Some of the greatest rappers, period, run that play and he’s learning to become up there with the best using this technique!
As expected, a fresh, unique, and original track from the duo of FlyG and KeiRY Beats and one I hope we see more of!
