Rage has really come to define a large chunk of hip hop. The subgenre is built on frenetic beats and unhinged vocals from the likes of Playboi Carti, Yeat, and others. Dro Kenji fits neatly under the rage bill. He possesses the intensity to pull the style off, and his ability to weave in and out of instrumentals that would utterly baffle other rappers is undeniable. "Amsterdam" is the latest Dro Kenji offering, and it proves to be one of his most hypnotic releases to date.
Dro Kenji's delivery trounces his lyrics. His vocals demand attention from the moment he gets on the track. That said, the rapper has a knack for finding extremely catchy pockets. "She pulled up with two big BBLs, I'm like, Damn, I want that,'" he raps. "I woke up with diamonds in my ears, yeah, I Alex Moss'd 'em. She get freaky often, had me fantasizin' 'bout it, but I'm capital P." The way Dro Kenji delivers these bars makes the difference between a passable one and an extremely catchy one. Like we said, though, the production plays a crucial role in making "Amsterdam" success. The synth line that repeats during Dro Kenji's verses is a masterstroke of simplicity. It's impossible to listen to this instrumental and not want to bob your head.

Quotable Lyrics:
It's like 4 a.m. in Amsterdam, we finally found the weed
She like fifteen n**gas deep right now, she finally choosin' me
I'm like one, two, three, four M's, I know this b*tch won't bring me peace
Summer Walker is really capitalizing on her upcoming album title Finally Over It with this new visual. Moments ago, the Georgia R&B singer-songwriter put out a music video for "Heart Of A Woman," the project's lead single. It hit streaming platforms back in October and it's become a fan-favorite already. It's got sharp storytelling and thematic consistency to the album, something that is always a plus. On the track, the 28-year-old GRAMMY nominee is stuck in this vicious cycle of her man doing a lot of detrimental things to their relationship. However, Summer continues to go back to him. It's a painful but vocally stunning track and one that has us eagerly awaiting the rest of the LP.
Right now, a release date has yet to be determined, but we assume it's going to arrive in early 2025. While we wait, we do have this music video to chew over and it's tense and excellently directed. It plays out the lyrics of the track very accurately, as Summer continues to experience this same gut-wrenching day three times in her head. We learn that her partner commits an act of infidelity at a photoshoot that he's also attending. In a fun twist, NLE Choppa plays her fictional boyfriend. Things continue to spiral for Summer though, as she at one point smashes a bottle on his head. However, after replaying the image in her head a third time, she decides to end things for good. While NLE takes a shower, Summer dumps gasoline in a room and drops a lit cigarette onto the floor. The fire alarm goes off before the video cuts to black. It's chilling and it builds the world for this album perfectly.
