I gotta be honest, the spelling of that title gave me severe OCD! But besides that, this is an exciting day because it’s a new single by one of the most unique and individual female MC in the underground right now!
One who seems to be on the up and up since I discovered her album a few months ago, and now with her new trajectory, we have this brand new single that showcases both her pen game and personality! Let’s talk about it!
This track is by MC Black Silq and Producer Serati Beats, and together they create this 3-minute and 49-second track that is bound to turn heads and eyes!
Firstly, let’s talk about the production. This track has a strong 90’s East Coast vibe to it with that hardcore minimalistic tone, with those long and repeated chords accompanied by intricate keys and heavy drum patterns, all coming together into an experience that reminds me of early Mobb Deep or Wu-Tang Clan! Definitely a nostalgic production that I fuck with heavy!
Now, accompanying this beat, we have Black, who is going back to her ‘Obsidian Tapes’ vibe as she utilises her strong charisma and enthusiastic personality to deliver a performance unlike any other!
I want you to imagine 2010’s Prime Nicki Minaji but more out there and lyrically superior (by far), and on this track, she’s tapping into her sadistic side by giving her own hardcore menacing attitude with hypnotic choruses and enchanting wordplay that makes you feel like you’re being put under a curse!
Across this almost 4-minute track, she’s doing a fine balance between letting her lyricism and wordplay do the talking while letting her extremely vivid persona speak through the track as if we are getting some kind of demonic possession situation! It’s eerie but so fucking cool to listen to, and she kills it on all sides!
Trust me, you haven’t and won’t hear another experience like this, this year unless it comes from her again! The beat is ridiculous, and the verses even more so! Go check it out now!
