The man himself Zhudaru1963 comes through with his latest single “Trap Marley”, bringing those island vibes to the Burg.
Off rips we are hit by that smooth guitar rift that sets the tone for the song. We have all heard Zhu spit before but this time he is a bit more chill just vybing like the beat. It was nice to hear Zhu over some different production, usually he goes over more Boom Bap or Trap beats but this laid back beat was a dope change up.
Despite the chilled out vibe of the track Zhu is still dropping that knowledge like usually. Since he’s Trap Marley we get some of that street talk towards the opening verse, but later on Zhu spits on how he’s got to change all that to see his kids grow up, as well as see his homies blow up with their music. Nice use of duality with the lyrics and message.
As far as the video goes, It was dope to see some 727 landmarks that have been in the city for generations make appearances in the video. Having the lyrics up on screen was a nice touch, allowing the viewer to take the full message in.
“Trap Marley” is one of my favorite singles of the year. I really dig this new feel good vibe from Zhu. We all know him as the OG and founder of the crew but it’s dope when the homie steps into the booth and does his thing. I see big waves coming from this track, and I can’t wait to see where Zhu takes it next with this “Trap Marley” persona. Zhu!!!!!!
