Nickel and Dime Until It Shine

Gritty Southern trap-soul, swung drums and sub-heavy bass. Male vocals with a weary, melodic drawl; verses half-sung, half-rapped over sparse keys and dusty guitar chops. Hook explodes with stacked harmonies and a brighter chord lift, then drops back into a tight, head-nod pocket. Subtle ear-candy ad-libs and riser swells to underline the grind-to-glory arc.
