Flow
Luther's flow is sure. The confidence in this rapper's vocals goes a long way: you hear his attitude and you understand because he enunciates. Ty The Dude's flow stands its ground and couples well with his counterpart. Ty's vocals carry emotion and sound pretty authentic (hip-hop based). The overall vibe of the two emcees together is dope; not one outshines the other. Both carry their own weight on the track.
Production
This beat is flame: Play this at loud volumes in conservative neighborhoods from your vehicle. The bass envelopes the whole song which is full of beat-breaks and minute switch-ups. I appreciate the mini-repeat in the beginning as well. From a production value: this song is industry ready. This could be sent to an exec or played on the radio as is. Nods to the producer.
Content
Until I Die features drug innuendoes that are super clever. This is a super feel-good song that gives a glimpse into 2 young dude's lives. Their perspective on living their life freely is shown through the verses, the short succinctness of the song, and the title. Luther and his counterparts take an easy message and make it their own.Overall
Overall, the song is dope. The beats coupled with the hook yield a solid 4/5 stars single. What is interesting is that while I enjoy how short the song is, I feel that the track lacks without another verse from the headlining artist: Luther. The title is misleading, "ft. Ty The Dude". Without any prior knowledge of these 2 separate artist, a listener may assume that this was a song put out by a duo.
