(Strive For More)

After the amount of singles I’ve heard so far, it only confirms one thing. This record in its entirety is going to absolutely BLOW UP THE CULTURE, in a way I’m not sure many albums will! 

I’ve heard nothing but praise and quality work from these two and this latest single only re-confirms the level of mastery on display here, so without any more discussion, let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new single by the combined efforts of MC Agallah The Don & Producer Blaq Medici who, as mentioned above, have been teasing a record that is ridiculously banging in all areas and this single might just be the cherry on top!

Firstly, we gotta discuss that production! Once again we see Blaq diving into his more surreal and methodically paced atmospheric sounds that make your soul dance with internal goosebumps!

The track starts off with those delicate piano keys that transform into a jazz-infused 80’s vibe track that has funky bass and rock and roll-style drums! 

What really blows this track up for me is how they incorporate these gorgeous freelance jazz horns that take over the song as the MVP element! As if the track wasn’t already banging without it, but this jazz solo tips it over the edge and forces the mind and ears to experience ultimate euphoria! 

I can’t tell you how many times I replayed this track in nervous excitement waiting for that jazz part to come back! Made my hairs stand up every time it returned, the track itself is masterfully done but that one part just hits me harder than most!

Now onto the MC work. We have Agallah once again proving why he’s the Don. He doesn’t rap verses, he speaks success into existence! Once again he showcases his powerful vocal style, his ruthless charisma and earthquake-level flow that shakes with every breath taken! 

What’s scary is, not only does he have this dominating personality, but he’s also an exceptional MC who can paint the most vivid imagery that’s equal parts tough and beautifully written! He has a wide vocabulary and a great sense of timing, precise bars, and a pen game so strong it feels like the audio equivalent of the yakuza coming for your head!

I can’t stress enough the chemistry between these two. This could be the finest example of a pair so smooth and with perfect synchronicity that it puts all other pairings to shame! They share one mind, one musical soul, and together they will most probably release ‘AOTY’. 

Check in to this single TODAY! And feel the excitement!
