Baby Phace | ‘Sober Soul’, The Prodigy
“Sober Soul” by Baby Phace starts out with an extremely catchy hook that immediately gets you moving. In his first verse, Phace flexes two different rapid deliveries, adjusting his tone and pitch with ease, seemingly toying around with the beat. For his second verse he slows it down, displaying an entirely new element to his flow. It almost feels like that point where everyone gets low, rocking back and forth, until Phace uses un unbelievably smooth transition to explode back onto the beat just as it picks up.
There haven’t been many rappers with an arsenal of delivery styles as numerous and diverse as Baby Phace’s. Ever. Period. Unlike a lot of next-gen rappers, such as Brooklyn’s drill rappers or Florida’s trippy, psychedelic rappers, Phace has no defined sub-genre within rap. The diversity in his delivery and the way he can cycle through flows without ever overpowering the beat is the stuff of legends; the kind of skill that can transcend not only sub-genres within rap, but the literal classification of music as a whole.
In addition to Baby Phace’s raw talent and skillset, the one thing that becomes abundantly clear as you listen to Phace is that he just has the “it” factor. Hearing him tease listeners with dynamic wordplay in “Flick it Up” and then come right back and hit you with what can only be described as a Weeknd/Big Sean flow-child in “Zone” is chilling. Baby Phace has all of the qualities necessary to become a straight-up superstar in the music industry and his presence is extremely exciting for the future of the rap game.
Character cannot be understated and on that front Baby Phace is a class act. When he heard I was writing this piece he immediately got back to me with a quote.
“I just wanted to shoutout the fans because they’ve been with me through the thick and thin. I appreciate both the new and old fans. It’s been a blessing.”
