BIG Naughty is Back with SIKE!
Our favorite rookie rapper is back! H1GHR Music’s BIG Naughty has returned with a new single album featuring three new tracks. Unlike the mini-album released earlier this year, BIG Naughty delves into a more rap-focused sound for SIKE!, providing more depth to his artistic repertoire and delivering a number of new bangers.
The first track “Turn Up!” is a cypher-style track that features a litany of rappers. In a nearly seven minute song, rappers M1NU, Veinyfl, Swervy, Layone, Young Jilee, Lil Nekh, and D.Ark take a verse and bring a variety of different styles to the table. The personalities of each rapper really shine in the live clip video, where you get a chance to see the group enjoy themselves together.
The second track “$$$” features Kid Milli and continues the strong energy from the opening cypher. This track definitely hits from the first note, with BIG Naughty’s fast and double-timed rapping cutting to the core. If you need a powerful banger to hype yourself up, this track is a great choice. Rap isn’t the only feature in the song either, as we hear some lovely vocals cut in about halfway through the track, which quickly melds into the melody and becomes a staple in the beat as Kid Milli begins his verse. There are a lot of differing elements in the track that keep it fresh, and it’s incredibly addicting even as the composition shifts.
The final track is “5 Gawd Remix,” a pure rap track with a catchy and consistent beat driving from the back, putting all the spotlight on BIG Naughty’s rap flow. This track really does a great job in highlighting exactly how talented BIG Naughty is as a rapper, and it’s nice to get that type of genre after his mini-album featured a more chill, lofi sound.
While there is no official music video coming with this single album release, there are official audio videos and the live cypher performance. At such a young age, it’s hard to believe that BIG Naughty has already evolved to this level of talent, and we can’t wait to see how much more he will grow in the future. If you love the gritty, hardcore type of rap sound, definitely don’t miss this album release!
