A common misconception within the top brasses of the music industry is that Hip-Hop has little-to-no substance outside of the “conscious rappers.” While the backpack cats will always hold us down, the Emo Rap community — spearheaded by the late Lil’ Peep — have taken the torch of rapping with substance, only with a twist. Making some noise of his own in that lane, Florida native I Hate Andy drops off his new single, “Moods.”
Produced by Christophr, “Moods” is a somber, yet uniquely enjoyable track that embodies the current Emo Rap wave to the fullest. While by traditional standards the mix may seem wonky, the sheer rawness of the track is what makes it so amusing, and at only a minute-thirty long, it’s essentially created for you to keep replaying it. Mission accomplished. Check out “Moods” below, and get familiar with I Hate Andy.
