Well known talented Asakaa drill star CHICOGOD is back on the hip-hop scene with a rugged rap track dubbed “2 Sides”
Right on time for drill fans and street nuts that need some hard-hitting rap to soundtrack their everyday grind. Kumasi and beyond hip-hop aficionados are always on the prowl for gritty street tales that unravel the dualities of reality. So the rapper comes through with an explosive record for those pushing through the turmoil.
The sound architect builds a dark, fast paced atmosphere with sliding sub bass notes, snappy snare rolls and violent drill drum kits. He lays some haunting synth melodies on top of a banging rhythm pattern to keep a persistent commercial push going throughout. That said, the percussive structure allows sufficient room for the bars to cut through clearly.
CHICOGOD takes the record with his trademark gravelly voice and fearless cadence. He also has a good feel for the quick tempo, dropping sharp Twi and English bars from the opening drop. His straightforward speech strikes a serious, uncompromising tone from the start.
The lyrical is largely focused on surviving street reality, dealing with feigned devotion and balancing two different sides of everyday life. He’s honest about slaving hard and safeguarding his inner group from betrayal. With catchy hooks and catchy refrains, he creates a strong anthem for every street hustler.
Everything is connected on this single and it makes for one hell of an adrenaline pumping listen. His vocal energy is matched by the dark production over the full run duration. This causes the joint to keep a consistent bounce going on repeat.
