You might remember Ransom from his rift with Joe Budden a few years back. He was released from prison three months ago and is set to drop an upcoming Gangsta Grilllz with DJ Drama. Before that happens, here’s his latest cut featuring TDE’s top dawgs. Seems like Ran hasn’t lost a step.
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. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
