Southern rapper Kirko Bangz has returned. He is back with his new effort, “Go First”, featuring Ye Ali, and with production duties handled by Xo. It is like a laidback ballad you would associate with the West Coast of yesteryear, mixed, seemingly, with a touch of expressive bass melodies and autotune.
The latter mixes well with those G-Funk keyboard lines, very electronic and futuristic. There is a brief and curious middle section, taking the song to another place. The vocals are just as easy going, with a singsong style that, like the autotune, suits the backdrop. The closing moments elect to let the instrumentation breathe before a fade out.
#Peace.Love.KirkoBangz
