Here’s something that’ll make you Squirrel Dance. Under Armor commissioned Skateboard P for a three track instrumental mixtape inspired by football star Ray Lewis’ film, Ready for August.
The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens took their celebration off the field with a $2 million afterparty. With Hov and Bey in attendance, Ray Lewis joined Mary J. Blige on stage for a lesson on his victory dance. Welcome to the winner’s circle.
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.
