Review by Brandon Watts
“No Brady Ft. J Muzique” is an explosive single from Rice that has been at the forefront of his come-up for the independent artist out of Webster, MA. The record kicks off with an infectious, staccato flute motif accompanied with a deep, fuzzy bass line creating an up-tempo groove that makes your body want to move. The mix is crisp and clean, courtesy of Sinatra Sauce mixing and mastering on the track.
The flute motif drops out and the bass is filtered back as Rice jumps in and begins to hype things up with his forward, intense vocal timbre rapping,
“Yeah yeah yeah, go crazy
yeah yeah yeah I'm wavy
Tryna touch me up wanna taste me
She gonna throw it back No Brady”
As Rice sets the stage, the production on the track keeps building with vocal ad-libs and splices. A simple kick-snare beat gives the beat a bit more structure and allows the main focus to be on his flow and witty bars. Things start to heat up once the arrangement doubles down on the low end with smoother sub-bass in addition to the main fuzzy bass line. This addition creates a new texture in the instrumental arrangement and makes it have a perfect sound to pump up a club.
“Call me Ortiz got you running home to Papi
need a longbow just to ride a tsunami
couple deep strokes got her gripping on my waves couple missed calls got her lurking on my page
we too grown need to act your own age stalking on me like you really my bae”
Ricxe’s energetic flow does well to get you pumped and have you feeling like a boss. J Muzique acts as a dynamic partner as he slightly mimics Rice’s flow but with a much more chill vibe that adds his flair to the record.
“I'm from the Woo now I'm in the A bringing a different style and a whole new flavor
got a b named Britney and she living in Decatur”
“No Brady Ft. J Muzique” definitely has a vibe that is perfect for the party or whenever you want to feel like you are on top.
