With Kendrick Lamar’s departure from TDE, the question arises: who is the top dawg of the label now? While some might argue for ScHoolboy Q, I think it could very well be SiR. The California singer, in my opinion, crafts R&B music that seamlessly merges traditional, contemporary, and next-level elements. In simpler terms, he’s a one-of-a-kind artist. SiR’s most recent single, “No Evil,” showcases his exceptional vocal prowess with an extremely captivating performance.

In “No Evil,” SiR confronts a woman whom he perceives to exude an energy of breaking down men. He issues a warning, expressing his readiness to explore the depths of her emotions while questioning her true intentions in their interactions.

What stands out to me the most in “Evil Ways” is the primary voice SiR adopts in the song, reminiscent of a male Cruella de Vil. When he switches from this voice, he delivers his signature emotive vocals that cut through any production. Speaking of production, the song is driven by this slick, impactful backdrop.
