Who’s ready for bars galore? That’s exactly what’s happening here! A man who has spent 2025 building himself up with a variety of projects, whether they be NARCOMIXES or original content, he’s out here being himself and not compromising for anyone, and this track proves that he’s the strongest! Let’s talk about it!
This is the brand-new single by MC Gustavo Louis and producer A U R, and together they dropped a single that’s 3 minutes and 15 seconds worth of straight verses and bars that I’m sure you’ll all love!
Starting with the production, what we have here is a methodically charged, almost Middle Eastern-inspired, mummy soundtrack shit!
You have those light sci-fi chords in the background, those slow-paced drums, subtle bass, and every now and then you get these schizophrenic sounds that appear and disappear just as fast, that sound experimental in nature!
A very interesting beat that feels tailor-made for an MC of Gustavo’s calibre to come in and kill, and that’s exactly what he does and more!
As I stated above, on this track, Gustavo goes more bar-heavy than I remember hearing him previously!
He’s on his flexing, in-your-face type shit. Playing heavy emphasis on his charisma, his eccentric nature, and his bragging bars, letting the haters and detractors know exactly what he thinks of them (quite early on in the song as well). Even the notion of anyone being on his level is laughable in his eyes, and considering the year he’s had, it’s completely justified!
Across this track, we hear endless bars, puns, one-liners, set-up bars, complex lyricism, fun/drug/gun lines; he literally includes everything on this track, leaving nothing on the table!
His flow is more fluent than I’ve heard it in a minute, smooth while maintaining his enormous energy and aura state where he’s just in his element talking his shit, embracing the status he’s built from the ground up! Definitely one of (if not) the most impressive singles to date!
What a fun surprise this track turned out to be, from the insane production to the bar fest by Gustavo, this is the perfect example of hip hop at its most precise and bare. Just a dope beat and bars, what can get better than that?
