Nothing I appreciate more than a super chill and funky single to help give the culture that extra little push to shake things up, and this is exactly what this one is doing right now!
By an artist I have yet to cover and a producer whose reputation precedes him, this is two minutes of some of the freshest hip hop you’ve heard to date! Let’s talk about it!
This is the brand-new single by MC Troy Dunnit and producer Mike Shabb, and they are coming with that modern-day hip hop vibe that is equal parts refreshing and original in content and instrumental!
Starting with that production. This feels like a mix of Boom Bap and 2010’s Wiz Khalifa era combined into one!
So, this production starts off with this looped and snipped vocal harmony that carries onto the main track but is cut a lot more and only small increments are used! As the song progresses, we have these funky, wavy echoing chords in a groovy loop as well as what sounds like high-pitch synth/violin strings and very light jazz drums that go off every so subtly!
All this comes together and kind of reminds me of current-day boom bap and ‘Kush and Orange Juice’ era Wiz in terms of vibe, feel, and atmosphere! Super dope mix of sounds!
To complement this sound further, we have Troy himself who, as he will say himself, ‘Dunnit’ on the beat with ease! This man is super fucking smooth, and from the opening lyrics, he’s telling me, you, the whole world, what he plans to do once he ‘Really gets it’.
He’s not shy in his ‘Treasure Chests, Fresh Air Ones, Walking closets as big as a hallway’ he goes on and on, and he’s speaking positivity into the world, and I’m sure he’ll get it one day!
Across these two minutes, we hear his intricate lyricism with his double entendres, puns, one-liners, and more. The way he flows feels like a bug flying through the wind without a care in the world! Absolutely insane.
On top of his smoothness, we also see his pen game and his complex vocabulary, and the way he can verbally dissect and massacre a beat with his wordplay, natural charisma, and attention to detail!
He doesn’t give himself time to breathe on this track, utilising the entire 2 minutes and 10 seconds to his advantage to showcase his skills and let the world know why he’s the one you should be looking out for, making a beat by a legendary producer feel like everyday clockwork to him!
This is a track that you can’t afford to miss out on! It’s vibrant and executed perfectly! Go check it out yourself today!
