Omaha’s Badboi leads with raw pace and presence, throughout the immersive DIY stylings of Cold.
Featuring ethereal production of dreamy layers alongside trap rhythms and cleanly-mixed vocals, Cold showcases a mellow tone contrasted by a breathless delivery.
From one bar to the next, Badboi keeps his story personal yet relatable – honest and confident all at once, weaving a captivating web for the entirety of the one-minute thirty-nine progression. The video backs this up, simple and authentically home-made for that genuine audience connection. It’s a brief yet striking performance, with engaging sound-design to back up the character and drive of the vocal.
Laid-back in his take on the topic yet calmly mastering the mic regardless, Badboi switches up his flow just subtly throughout, highlighting versatility but also keeping things moving in a naturally rhythmic manner. It will be interesting to hear where else the music takes him in the coming months.
Album to follow in April, 2023. Check out Badboi on Twitter & Instagram.
