Strength on My Sleeve

Hip-hop anthem with a mid-tempo boom-bap bounce, crisp snares and chesty kick; verse rides sparse drums and a gritty bass riff, pre-chorus strips to handclaps and a filtered chant, chorus hits with stacked gang vocals and a sharp horn stab on the hook. Lead vocal stays close-mic and direct, with doubled lines on key phrases, delay throws on the last word, and ad-lib echoes in the gaps. Vinyl crackle, riser sweeps, and a brief drum drop into the bridge. Bright, punchy mix with hard edges and roomy lows.
