This song is fresh out the cuts from TroyBoi and Ekali. These two artists blended their unique trap styles together to create an intoxicating tribal-trap sound. You can clearly hear Ekali’s influence in the tribal dynamic of the track, which samples flutes, shakers, drums, and exotic chants, leading up to the anticipated “T-R-O-Y-B-O-I;” TroyBoi’s respected mark of ownership.
How does this song feel? Close your eyes and picture yourself walking through the desert or surrounded by some bizarre native tribe, chanting and dancing in the night, beside the light of a roaring fire. This song will take you there and leave you longing for more as it’s closing piano notes pull you out of your trance and back to someplace close to home.
This one may not be quite the heavy trap song that a lot of people come to expect from Troyboi, but it has a pleasing sequential form to it that manages to mix the essence of trap and tribe together, all without overpowering the listener. The result is a satisfactory collaboration that is easy to get lost in, a tribal-trap token created by two amazing artists.
