Step Up, Little Flames

Hip-hop rap with a hard boom-bap spine and grim half-time swing; verse rides sparse kick, snare, and a warped bass line, pre-chorus tightens with chopped crowd chants and filtered risers, chorus hits with stacked gang vocals and a blunt two-word hook. Vocal is close-mic, dry, and intimate in verses, doubled and shouted on the hook, with delay throws on end rhymes. Vinyl crackle, reverse swells, and a snare pickup mark transitions; mix is dark, punchy, and upfront., world, rap
