TOP 3

3. Score

Intros rarely are better than this.

Blac Kami knows how to captivate listeners right from the start, and he achieves this with an introspective intro in “Score.” Over a soulful hip-hop beat with a powerful punch, Kami delivers impactful bars reflecting on his street knowledge, vigilance against deception, and personal growth. What stands out is his confident and commanding delivery; there’s no sentimentality here, just raw authenticity. The track offers a therapeutic listening experience, drawing listeners into Kami’s world with its honesty and depth.

2. Fly Forever (Ft. T.E.E)

Blac Kami & T.E.E. in “Fly Forever” = Kobe & Shaq.

To kick off the track, Blac Kami makes a Kobe reference that sets the tone. It speaks to the hunger and determination displayed by the Lakers legend before winning his first title. This theme permeates the song as Black Kami and T.E.E. deliver bars about their unwavering focus on achieving their goals. They also address their detractors head-on and eloquently illustrate how they stand apart from them.

The chorus, especially the “ever ever” part, has been stuck in my head. Additionally, the song boasts excellent verses in which Blac Kami and T.E.E. display remarkable swagger, confidence, and seamless flows.

1. Motion

I’m digging this extra assertive version of Kami.

I love the confidence and self-assurance Kami exudes in “Motion.” He asserts his autonomy and determination to achieve success, dismissing anything that obstructs his path. Listeners will appreciate the automobile references, impactful hook, and the soulful backdrop, which enhances the potency of his words, hitting with the force of a Tyson punch.
