Rap, by nature, tends to be a braggadocious genre. Artists are always looking for new ways to flex their success and proclaim their status — whether it be in comparison to other artists or in a materialistic sense — yet there never seems to be a shortage of new ways to do so. Every once in a while, I’ll hear a new artist whose style of braggadocio not only deviates from its counterparts, but actually trumps the rest, and today, I think I’ve discovered just this in Baby Smoove and his brand new single, “400$ Shirt.”
Produced by none other than one of the underground’s best producers out right now in Wiardon, the flute-ridden melody and fast-paced drumlines that structure this song give Smoove the perfect sonic background for the occasion. Naturally, the budding artist obliges with a dense supply of clever brags and intoxicating flows, using his laid-back allure as the leading factor of the song’s style.
That said, “400$ Shirt” is the kind of song that you can throw on replay all day without losing interest. Both Smoove and Wiardon snapped on this one, and to say that Smoove is creating his own style is an understatement. The rising talent is unique, he’s talented, and he knows how remain one step ahead of the game. Quite clearly, “400$ Shirt” is a must-listen, so be sure to check this one out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
