The Slum Brothers team up with Aahana for two fascinating minutes in their latest release. “I Can Be A Nigga Too” begins with a distinctly iconic hip hop tune, descending and engaging, lingering in the background. The music starts with a strong link between the beat and the vocals.
The first time you hear The Slum Brothers’ music, it’s going to be that performance that stands out — in this song, Aahana’s vocals and delivery have a distinct tone and feeling of character. The positive vibrations of the soundtracks, quick insights, and ideas start to mix brilliantly with that immediate degree of individuality as you progress. If you’re unfamiliar with The Slum Brothers’ music, “I Can Be A Nigga Too” is a beautiful place to start.
Aahana’s bars, rhymes, and concepts sound really new and meaningful from the start. The background is rather straightforward. A melancholy riff that glides throughout creates a somewhat vintage hip-hop vibe.
The beat feels a little more contemporary — a tripped-up grace complements the lyrics’ modern approach. It’s a reasonably simple setup because all that’s required is a bit of rhythm and vibe – The Slum Brothers and Aahana’s performance takes care of the rest.
What starts off as a one-of-a-kind ambient soundtrack, catchy and intriguing, enigmatic and appealing for its delicate aura, quickly transforms into a rhythmically unforgettable rap hit with a surprisingly sophisticated structure.
When you become complacent, the game continues to throw curveballs at you. While clear threads tie the experience and make it recognizable, there are also many surprises.
“I Can Be A Nigga Too” stands out for its purity and appreciation and its melodic satisfaction. Honest story-telling captivates, as do rhythmic clarity and powerful melodies, and that’s exactly what you get with this song; a delicate balance of everything that shines brightly.
