‘Face,’ Oakland musician’s new single featuring Navy Blue, has a warm, naturalistic vibe
Contrary to popular belief, rappers try very hard. The idea that they don’t is based on a clichéd facade, full of claims that a song “only took 15 minutes to make,” or that an artist “doesn’t write anything down.” In fact, even mustering the energy and wherewithal to enter a recording booth, rhyme a bunch of words together, and make it all semi-coherent over a beat is a difficult task. But if the 22-year-old rapper and producer.
“Face” sounds like someone put a beat — albeit a very good, expertly sampled beat — over a groggy voice note. “I got people waiting on me, still tho, I can’t show my face,” the Oakland musician raps with subdued energy on the hook. When he ends a bar, his “yeahs” aren’t accentuated like Drake’s and his “uhs” don’t punch like DaBaby’s. Instead, they arrive like placeholders until he can begin rapping again, which gives the moment a warm and naturalistic touch.
Even after multiple listens, “Face” is hard to pin down, but the hook’s second-to-last bar says a lot with a little: “I got people hatin ‘on me, mad that I control my fate.” Whatever Ovrkast. has planned next, he seems squarely in control.
