With spongy 808s, a flow that pitter-patters into the crevices of the beat, and a deep guitar line, Wakai’s “Lively” is a serious attention grabber. The Louisiana native’s witty commentary on women who are fixated on materials turns this song from a smooth song to smoke to, into an introspective look at modern relationships.
“Not saying she a gold digger but if I ain’t have a mic and I worked from the sun to the night, would you still like me,” Wakai asks in the song’s hook. The 21-year-old rapper operates within the Saba, Smino, and J.I.D lane so if you’re someone who likes those artists, you’re gonna wanna stay tuned for his upcoming project To A Dark Boy.
