Freestyle Cologne and Rockness Monsta draw tough-ass bars in “Wild Way – Remix.”
What’s a hip-hop artist to a rapper? What’s a rapper to an MC? What’s an MC to a God MC? As you ponder those questions, let me make one thing clear: Freestyle Cologne belongs in the last category— God MCs. Though they are relatively new to streaming platforms, their tracks consistently showcase next-level, multi-layered lyricism that demands careful attention to fully appreciate. FC also has a knack for choosing beats that would intimidate lesser talents, a testament to their confidence and skills. Their latest offering, “Wild Way – Remix,” might just be their most impressive work to date.
In “Wild Way – Remix,” Rockness Monsta takes a reflective yet confident tone, dismissing “birds” and addressing women who overlooked him during his struggles, while affirming his current inner peace. Lodeck uses his verse to honor the grandmasters who influenced his craft, while expressing disdain for those who lose authenticity chasing fame. Freestyle Cologne delivers a powerful message, warning listeners about the predators lurking in the streets, recounting his battles with personal demons, and sharing his journey out of a dark period.
What makes this track stand out is the seamless blend of three distinct rapping styles, each bringing a unique energy to the song. Rockness Monsta shines with finesse, a steady flow, and clever punchlines that land effortlessly. Lodeck counters with raw grit and punchy energy, evoking a classic boom-bap vibe. Meanwhile, Boxguts adds his dynamic flair, showcasing sharp wordplay, varied flows, and an assertive delivery that keeps the intensity high. All of this is perfectly anchored by DJ Redd Rokk’s soul-clenching, hard-hitting production.
