Now, this is a duo to get excited about! Two of my most familiar artists inside and out of the music. Two men who have spent the year upgrading and developing their styles and techniques, and all that has come to fruition on this song! Let’s talk about it!
This is the latest single by MC FLYG and Producer Dev Rogers! United (to my knowledge) once before on the song ‘GODLY CONSTRUCTION’ and now returning with this new song that I can only describe as ‘unique’ in its presentation and structure.
First of all, let’s talk about FLYG. Now, I will get the negatives out of the way first by saying I feel his vocals are a tad bit rough on this song; it feels unmastered or unfiltered in some way. Maybe it was meant to sound that way due to the nature of the song or to experiment with his vocals in some new way, but that concern hit me from the get-go, but besides that, I rock with the verse provided!
On this track, we are gifted with his trademark methodical excellence. As he’s become so adapted to over the years, he’s mastered the art of making every single word and sentence breathe and feel the heaviness of his voice and wordplay.
I feel in this song in particular, he has a more refined and borderline quirky dialogue with his puns that I loved! Some of my favourites were:
– The Feeling of a hammer to a nail, out to make the green like some kale.
Or even the line – smash you together, like a freshly made sandwich/meaning your food/make sure you dip before I get my hands on you.
All these are fun, quality one-liners that just pop across the beat! I swear at this point you could make a whole book just on the various one-liners he’s used this year! Always a fun listen!
That would have been my final thoughts had the track not gone into transition and switched up entirely!
I ain’t kidding, I had to look back at my Spotify app to see if the song had changed! This reminded me of fucking Travis Scott’s ‘Sicko Mode’ in the way it unexpectedly switched, and we hear FLYG briefly command his presence on the surprise sonic trap floor! Unreal treat for the listener!
Across the production, we have, as mentioned above, Dev Rogers, a man whose beats I’ve come to anticipate with much love and excitement, and this single reminded me why!
Across this song, we have this heavy soul feel track.
You’ve got those angelic vocal samples that are a balance between whispers and light harmonies! On top of that, we have these sci-fi-like synth chords, subtle bass that all comes together for a rather soothing and relaxing experience!
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
As described above, there comes a time in the song when it’s switched and transformed from what you think is the end (that sonic trap door), and the beat falls into this more distorted and manipulated experience with more in-your-face bass and abrupt instrumentation that sounds reverberated!
Either way, this is a fun song. The more I listen to it, the less the vocal recording bothers me, but I’m not one to lie on reviews! Definitely a great track as they always will be together!
