This track has a catchy factor. Something that truly wraps the modern/futuristic hip-hop feeling. It builds its entire ambient effect on top of core hip-hop elements which can be heard in the production. For a track like this, the lyrical aspect doesn't have to be louder than the music as the whole vibe grows through the tune and, overall, the vocals blend in smoothly. Wide and large reverbs and delays move in rhythm inside the headroom like a mellow echo chamber does sustain melodies further.
The vocals have autotune, which for this track and its style, fits well. A mixture of LoFi instrumentals aligned with some traditional modern electronic trap beats makes the rhythm dominant. The experimental angle can be felt from the touch of minimalism that subtly highlights the glittering poly synths and piano tones. The flow drowns you in its slow burning energy with a redefined melancholy.
The consistent loop of musical arrangement keeps the mood steady and involving. The roaring bass with powerful kick holds the low frequency hot and tight. Narrow snare and hi-hats provide variations as they continue. The vocal rendition is atmospheric and hypnotic as the words are mixed with an out-worldly impact using carefully crafted effects. The more you hear this song the more it evolves, letting you untangle the entire mix.
Definitely listen to 'Bad B Riddim - Blankscale Remix' by Chad George on Spotify.
