Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound.

In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect.
