Taking a step away from his educational roots in Biology to focus on a life-long passion for music and the arts, Detroit rapper and songwriter Tym On emerges with a hard-hitting, high-octane anthem that is Golden Boy.
Featuring a fairly home-made set-up, a little rustic mix-wise but authentic in being so, Golden Boy speaks volumes on behalf of the confidence and drive of the artist. There’s also a strong sense of rising anticipation and weight as the track progresses – the production leans towards creative sound-play in a refreshing manner.
Reaching the scene with a bright and bold set of visuals to match, Golden Boy introduces a handful of different flows, building up from simple and mellow moments to the outright unity and rhythmic intensity of the hook. The bars impress too, keeping things fresh and offering a story that’s all at once personal and relatable to a broader audience seeking out motivation.
A worthy introduction to his music – it will be interesting to hear where else creativity takes him in the coming months.
