Old school simplicity brings back the mellow pace of Hip Hop – the sort that first let storytelling and lyricism guide the way. OC Threat keeps things focused on groove and intention, with the low-key party single Tonight.
Featuring a contemporary trap rhythm and the juxtaposed presence of nostalgic bells and synths in the outskirts, Tonight offers a short-lined and catchy hook resolve, which introduces things, and proceeds to weave in a faster-flow of bars for the verses – a moment at which the tone and character of the OC Threat voice is made clear.
Unmistakable by story and performative style, but modest and easy going by production, Tonight holds true to its sense of living for the moment – achieving a late-night vibe that’s recognisable but non-intrusive, and highlighting the unique vocal nuance and confidence of OC Threat at the very same time.
Noting thousands of monthly listeners on Spotify alone, OC Threat has gone from strength to strength with this honest and engaging approaching. Nothing excessive or bold is needed, the stories and the simple appeal of a purposeful beat let the organic essence of timeless hip hop ring loud, and Tonight celebrates that quality and climb in a natural fashion.
