I’ve covered more than a handful of single reviews this year alone and I have to say nothing feels quite as good as getting to hear a collaboration of artists that provide the listener with the perfect chemistry where each element from the vocals to the production fits effortlessly with one and another and on this occasion we get exactly that! So tune in, because you are about to experience something so cold!
This my friends is the brand new single by Producer Wavy Da Gawd and features the MC Bub Rock! together they dropped a fresh 2 minutes and 11 seconds of harmonious energy that had me feeling goosebumps as soon as that track started!
Let’s start with that performance by Bubs. He’s one of those artists that I feel goes under the radar but always one to flex his consistency and quality! Everything I’ve ever heard him on has been straight fire. He has that old school 90’s/2000’s style of sharp lyrical abilities, a smooth and ferocious flow combined with this unique tier of street poetry that is wrapped in power, vivid imagery and so much personality that you feel like your right there with him in his descriptions!
His aura and charisma are always at a high. I’ve never heard a boring song by the man. Not everyone can rock his level of natural charm and cadence on the mic, you can hear that he’s completely in his element especially over this grand stage of theatrical production that defines ‘phenomenal’
We gotta discuss Wavy’s contributions to this track because it ain’t an acceplla song after all! What he does on here is another prime example of why he’s one of the best and most prominent producers in the scene period. Across this track we are blessed with this Classical meets Jazz fusion that is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t even front this thing is sonically beautiful to the touch.
You’ve got those atmospheric chord progressions that come in two layers, one in a continuous loop the other (closer towards the chorus) appears in a more fluctuating rhythm!
You’ve got those Jazz horns towards the chorus as well which provide such magnificent harmony and texture to the song!
On top of all that you’ve got some plucked bass strings and light drums that give that final touch of executed sound to wrap up the whole instrumental! Every aspect of the instrumentation plays a fundamental role in creating this musical fever dream! No filler to be found, every single part matters!
This might be my new favourite beat by the man and that’s no life. I could listen to this one for hours!
Overall, one of the strongest synchronicities I’ve heard all year. If this is a sign of things to come then consider me IMPATIENTLY WAITING!
