Real RG Ft Trapland Pat’s music takes a couple of listens to really soak up the aura and settle in to how things are. It’s easy to do that, fortunately, as the music is incredibly striking – from the offset this meeting of the soundscape and the vocal soul is captivating. The second and third times you listen though are where things really get interesting and start to appeal on a greater level. This is when you pick up on those lyrics, those instrumental intricacies – the passion running through every single building block.

As is always the case, Real RG Ft Trapland Pat’s music never falls below par in terms of professionalism. In this case, there’s a creative balance highlighted between what’s fresh and what works more classically in terms of holding an audience’s attention. By all accounts, the track is laid back and easy to play for you – the overall vibe fits in with these winter months beautifully, and naturally. If you do choose to listen intently though, there’s something more of a story than may be expected, a dash of drama and emotion that brighten up the outer edges in a valuable way.

As a listener, I feel like I’m entering the band’s own head-space, vast in idea while centralized in song. Rap vocals float in, almost ghost-like, and full of anticipation as the notes climb higher – a perfect lead into the verse when the energy crashes in like a comet. The soundscape drops hard and fast, cementing the style alongside progressive hip hop mixed with futuristic rap. The instrumentation falls out right before the chorus, leaving the audience on the edge and salivating for more of this hip hop core. The vocals are powerful, shining through the heavy mix like sunlight through space and highlighting the lyrical depth of the song.

The more you hear the big beat and dark vibrancy of this track, the more recognizable it inevitably becomes. Those opening bars of music hold a certain level of anticipation for the drop that will follow, and this, combined with the sheer passion and volume presented by the leading voice, makes for something that holds nothing back, that hides nothing in terms of drive and intention, and that acts as a fitting leader for those who have a similar level of ambition. Listeners turn to music and hip hop, in particular, to seek out those with the outspoken confidence to be that leader, to inspire and empower, to encourage growth, and along with the attention to detail production-wise, this track undeniably reaches out for that role.
