2 Cents: nappyniggas(Feat. Afrocat)

Dirty single from @creaturealf featuring @Afrooocat is out and on repeat: 





Flow

Bars broken up at the emcee Alfred's leisure show dexterity and wit. His wordplay intermingled with the cocky back-and-forth between the artists Alfred and Afrocat makes for an easy listen.



Production

The seamless flow mentioned above, is a production win. Each thin percussion sound is clear against the fat bass. For a beat- this is clutch and the sampled goodies that play off of the gritty vocals is handled with finesse.



Content


Rapper bravado at its finest: the need to be paid, diminished roles of women, and how 'nice I am' on the beat loop the track. Something to note, however, in the hook lies the main reason this song is pretty cool. Alfred and Afrocat pay homage to their longstanding camaraderie and oddness in one line: "Alfy Alf been with the spits, Afrocat done flipped the sh*t/ Rocking with the Krusty Gang, kept the flow so different."




Overall


These artists are not new to the T2C musical radar; as young underground adepts- they flex all of their musical knowledge (up to this point) in nappyniggas. These are clearly the artists to watch coming out of their respective area. Ticos 2 Cents: play this song at max volume when going to do something important.
