Have you started stomping you feet just when you hear a beat and not even the content that follows?? Like you just dig the vibe and soak yourself in The song before it even pans out. Crazy beats that just makes you enter beats mode and ready to party hard and enjoy the song. Yeah, that’s the kinda vibe this song dubbed “The Score” by V of 40M brings to you, and man o man, see I’ve haven’t had this feeling and vibe in a long time in the hip-hop genre. So getting it from this song brings back memories and makes me wanna jam to this song whole day. The song is catchy and very lively with its infectious beats that just hits you hard and brings out the gangster in you. The song which features 40M Tye and Hippie G is a dynamic and powerful track that brings to us a perfect blend of thought-provoking lyrics and masterful production. It just goes on to show V’s unwavering commitment to his revolutionary message and how he effortlessly infuses them into his crafts. I love it already and we barely started, so get your seatbelt on for it’s gonna be one hell of a fine ride.
Now this song comes with LABACK’s production, which just sets the tone and makes “The Score”, as soon as it played catches your attention with its intense energy and compelling beats. And in case you’re looking for a song with some sick flows and good rap and diversities from all the artist on it, then this track gotcha, cos this collaboration just elevates the track to new heights and man it’s good. The song just starts beautifully with a laid back melodies that prepare you for the energy and drive about to drop, and just when the beat has dropped, you realize how the into was slick and smooth. Then you are served with some sweet switches from the artist and before you realize, you’re already consumed by the songs infectious beats, rap and the flow. The lyrics tho, hahaha, see people understand this hip-hop and rap shit and I ain’t even capping, the way the songs touches on themes of resilience, empowerment, and the ongoing struggle for liberation is crazy, and the way all the artist walked on that beat like its some simple ish to do, wow. Sometimes that’s the spirit you need, the ability to even keep going when you’re facing setbacks, when everything around you begins to crumble and yet, you see the light ahead in the darkness, and you just have to say ah shit here we go again and keep going till you achieve what you wanted. As the song goes on, you hear the refrain “we go ride till we die”, a line hinting at how resilient one have to be and the courage needed to hit those heights one has set. What I love about this song is the passion and authenticity used in it delivery, it just urges the listener to keep pushing and never give up. Brilliant stuffs that is, and I must say, never settle for less and never let any oppressor torment you, stand up to your oppressor and keep going. The unique thing about this song is how each verse carries a powerful tool that address issues such us racial injustice, economic inequality, and the quest for self-determination. The chorus tho, man it’s everything and I love the urge and courage it gives you. Whatever you do, never give up.
Well I’ll say, “The Score” ain’t just your regular hip-hop ass songs that just carries empty messages, this is unique and just goes on to show V of 40M’s artistic vision and unwavering dedication to his craft. The song with its infectious beats, thought-provoking lyrics, coupled with top notch delivery straight up becomes a must-listen, so go ahead and give this solid 10/10 project and good listen, and have a beautiful week.
