A vibrant, herculean kick, guided by the gush of an 808, is the first thing you’ll hear on this titanic release, “Emotional”. It is an outstanding musical commencement, for it beautifully segues into the iridescent vocals of Sassy Vee; and the “Break Free” EP cut, in an instant, transforms into the sonic ride of a lifetime. “Emotional” is Pop at its foundation; sporting a bubbly, electronic synth that sparkles about the peripherals of piano chords and trap snares. However, the San Diego-born, New Haven-based singer, unleashes pure R&B onto the microphone. She croons, melodizes and harmonizes with the dint of her sprightly soul; squeezing a sensual, amorous jam out of the record. Her voice, truly, hearkens to R&B/Neo-Soul eras of the past, and Sassy Vee masterfully matches it with a cutting-edge sound. In little under three-minutes and thirty seconds, alongside showing she’s a upcoming talent to keep our eyes on next year, she makes certain that her “Break Free” EP is what we’ll keep our ears on for the end of this one. And “Emotional”, in all of its romantic glory, is the ideal appetizer.

Wielding pain, depth, and darkness, Michigan rapper, SupremeNu, presents “Man Down”. The song is three minutes and sixteen seconds of lyrical and instrumental surgery on an open wound; centered around the loss of a close friend to gun violence. Carried by a heart-wrenching, blues guitar, trumpets, trap drums, and passionate, Outkast-esque flow, SupremeNu relives the entire fiasco. He details in his first verse witnessing the death personally, and how indomitable the river of tears have been hence then. Yet, as traumatic as this event was for the Jackson-repping, Florida-based artist, he uses it as incredible fuel on the mic. The pair of passion and pain weld into his voice is unignorable. It bleeds heavier and heavier through your speakers as the song progresses; and by the end, you are engulfed in his grief. That solidifies this track’s place as one of the underground, Hip-Hop highlights of this year. Not only is it an outstanding tribute to his resting friend; but it, likewise, commands an empathy that one could never evade.
