HANK $WEETS has incredibly professional, sure-footed sound, which can be accredited to his extensive time making music. That said, the artist has been crafting heaters since 2017. Initially, the rapper admits it was challenging to find his niche and a sound that accurately expressed his thoughts.

My sound has developed into its own sound, and my subject matter is becoming more concise, – HANK $WEETS.
“CODEINE ROSES,” produced by RATTLXR, combines influences from underground rap, emo rap, and traditional hip-hop. The heavy bass pounds through the speakers and gives the track a dark, moody feel. Adding to this vibe, unique hi-hats and a lighter piano melody settle into the background.
One interesting note about the beat featured in “CODEINE ROSES” is that HANK $WEETS and his producer made it from scratch. During an underground session, the talented rapper knew he wanted to create a love song. So the rapper and RATTLXR started creating sounds to match that energy. As soon as the beat was finished, HANK $WEETS laid down his transfixing vocals, which were entirely improvised.
The improvisational nature of “CODEINE ROSES” speaks volumes about the rappers emotional tie to his music. In fact, the artist’s bars are packed with feeling that unexplainably pull you into the music. At various points in “CODEINE ROSES,” his melodic vocals give off a similar feel to Travis Scott. The auto-tuned style combined with the vocal runs slide gracefully through the speakers.
Another aspect of “CODEINE ROSES” that adds to the track is the almost haunting vocal runs laid out throughout the song. That said, he carefully places cooling vocal runs and ad-libs after numerous bars that just add a little something extra to the track. Although it’s a small detail, it makes “CODEINE ROSES” stand out a little more.
Regarding his inspiration, HANK drew motivation from the new chapters in his life. More specifically, HANK $WEETS addressed his questioning of certain moments and people in his life.
‘Ashes to Ashes, riches from raggin, know how it feel, know what it cost,’ starts off the second verse as I poetically try to paint the pictures of struggles in my life, – HANK $WEETS.
