This is nice to hear your track, to me the sound is kinda electric and well polished, dark side and confusion are present for sure.
Very nice work and thank you for joining this friendly non-contest

 

@johnmusichead oooo i like this, reminds me bling era hip-hop from the 2000s and Memphis rap, especially that phasing synth refrain; super Memphis and a little horrorcore (though a lot cleaner tones). after that first sample drops i feel like i could rap to this

im just livin, not worried what their talkin bout
diamonds in my mouth glisten like im from the south
triple digits, whippin NASCAR routes
shes not trippin she just wanna have me around
these summer nights are a gaslight
if i flip the switch its like im in a past life
where i have a trad wife phat ass playing bagpipe
instead im in a cullinan
shes in ferragamo humming this

lol its very rap-able and i dont even rap like that, the beat is just perfect for it. also reminds me of when i was a kid the nightclub ads that would play on late night TV. as a standalone i like it a lot, im having a hard time imagining it in the scenario you mentioned though. i dont have vertigo but from what it looks like it seems like it would be hard to balance, having your rhythm thrown off, where this piece and the rhythm is really balanced - i like it though, very nocturnal and has a nice sense of rhythm. i could definitely see this playing on independent radio - great job and welcome back
