A flow and cadence in motion like Newton’s cradle -- conserving momentum and energy to transmit all the force into the lyrics. A droppedmilk-produced beat in the modus operandi of cel animation that imitates a breeze playing atop hills in full bloom.
Those are the sounds on Lord Apex’s “Speak For Yourself” that have been on loop and have settled me into stillness mentally. Airbrushed drums blend into lighter, tiptoeing chords which blend into even lighter-toned bass and guitar accents. Each component of the production is evident in one another’s pattern and timing, allowing room for droppedmilk’s silky-dressed vocal sample to breathe properly and give Lord Apex’s voice an alleviating exhale.
Rapped in sincerity, the “Smoke Sessions 3” artist communicates his verses close to speaking with something jiggy in the tones that fall on the rhyme. His lyrics feel like calmness and higher learning ala spiritual centering and discovery of self-belief.
Speak For Yourself is when the voice and the beat are in complete sync to speak truth to power. The music propels your state to a loop of suspended cool. And I am not leaving the loop anytime soon.
