Miles Trainor & O’baekey Win Week 19 of Rap Fiesta Radio
Miles Trainor and O’baekey are this week’s Rap Fiesta Radio winners.
Miles Trainor and O’baekey’s track “Wave” has a laid back flow and confident lyrics that embody the style of the new, younger generation of up and coming rappers. The beat features an echoing chorus sample and a simple, barebones style beat. In addition to the chorus sample, the hook of the song features a rap-singing flow that breaks up the verses. Rather than rapping about struggle, “Wave” is about partying, girls, and a carefree lifestyle. The lyrics would probably appeal most to college students who live for the weekend.
The style and sound of “Wave” is similar to artists such as Asher Roth and Sam Adams. However, the beat has more of an underground hip-hop sound combined with the mainstream. Crossover-appeal is an important quality to have for independent artists. “Wave” has a lot of cross over potential and the style of the song could potentially attract other, more gritty sounding rappers for features. The combination of mainstream sound with underground or drill artists creates music that appeals to a wide audience.
