Rapper and artist Rok Major brings a modern flow and melody to a classic hip hop beat, with the mellow storytelling and changing stages of Business as usual.
From the six-track EP Local Joker 2, Business as usual features a heavy rhythm and distant, dreamy production alongside it. Then we get the bars from Rok Major, a tuneful hook, rhythmic verses that constantly switch up the flow, and a story that’s delivered almost in a freestyle manner – kind of carefree but focused on this sense of personal achievement and romantic connection.
From easy-going introductions to a more impassioned third verse, the track is gifted a clear dynamic throughout, and this all comes from the performative flair and confidence of Rok Major on the mic. The music holds the fort without shifting, the groove maintained for the old-school hip hop vibe, and meanwhile the track gains a clear level of structure and personality thanks to the various moments and styles delivered by indie rapper Rok Major.
