Despite our fairytale fantasies as children, growing up in one spot your whole life is a bit of a pipe dream for most. Moving from Detroit to the completely different Tempe, Arizona, rapper Hotelroom has made the most of the move since it happened, and he proves that with his crazy new single, “7:03 in Phoenix.”
Produced by Zaytoven, the record is instantly enjoyable as Zaytoven’s signature tag comes on right before Hotelroom gets right into it with an aggressive — yet wildly replay-able — chorus, discrete cadence structures during the verses and an infectious pen that leaves room for interpretation. Check out the single below, and be sure to get familiar with Hotelroom. The bandwagon is beginning to fill up.
