Smooth and classic production blends subtle Jazz and Old School Hip Hop, as California rapper and artist Phylosophy delivers the poetic and heartfelt reflections and defiant lyrical prowess of Good Vibes.
Stylishly uniting an anthemic and catchy hook, with longer-form verses that captivate as they delve into a journey through the streets of life, Good Vibes explores with realism and charm, precisely what its title implies. The result is an addictive and engaging easy must for the summer playlists.
Openly inspired by the nostalgic hit I Love College, from Asher Roth, the mellow vibe and celebratory, appreciative lyrics of Good Vibes create an easy going and enjoyable groove. The style is reminiscent of conscious rap and cleanly mixed hip hop from across the board, a touch of indie treasures like Homeboy Sandman, a dash of of the heavier production in those siren synths and the timeless beat.
Phylosophy keeps it real but also makes sure to reel in his audience with a faultless flow, a calm and collected demeaner, and smart, thoughtful and genuine bars. The second verse in particular feels incredibly contemplative, intelligent and inspiring in its self-awareness and originality.
The song is clearly a personal account, but it’s been crafted in a broadly accessible way. By his own admission, Good Vibes is a song for the world, but in particular, a song for Phylosophy’s own community of California.
