90s hip hop that harbors heat in its quiet spaces.
The song features a conversational rap over a low-pitched beat, and has an urban groove that naturally blends the softness of R&B with the core of hip-hop.
There's a soft space within the hard beat. Prince Markie Dee's voice sounds like he's speaking, using the gaps in the rhythm to carve out emotion. The track's stripped-back ornamentation creates depth, and the vocal intonation directly becomes the song's expression. There are waves of tension within the short length, and with each listen, tension and relief intertwine. This single vividly captures the atmosphere of the early '90s, while evokes the tranquility of a city night.
