Lil Nexus | “I’m Back,” A Proper Reintroduction
Rap Fiesta’s hype to welcome rising rapper Lil Nexus and his single, “I’m Back”, to the scene. The two-and-a-half-minute song features the rapper’s flawless bars, an addicting hook, and a rhythm you’ll never get sick of, regardless of how many times you listen to the song.
The Milwaukee-based rapper has been pursuing music seriously for five years. However, during our interview, Lil Nexus described having a passion for music his entire life. While listening to “I’m Back,” Lil Nexus’s enthusiasm and love for music is palpable; the rapper pours an incredible amount of energy into his bars.
…I wanted to put something like this [song] out to let people know ‘I’m Back’ while also incorporating small words and reasoning of why I took time off, Lil Nexus, regarding the inspiration behind his song.
“I’m Back” came after Lil Nexus was forced to take a two-year hiatus from music. And with this break, the Wisconsin rapper’s passion for self-expression through music was reignited, fueling “I’m Back.”
Everything about “I’m Back,” from the beat to the bars, hits hard. Lil Nexus’s flows start bursting through the speakers as soon as the beat drops. And once you get a taste of the rapper’s style and cadence, you’ll find yourself essentially addicted to Lil Nexus.
In addition to crafting some bars that are truly next-level, Lil Nexus creates a hard-hitting chorus in “I’m Back.” Throughout the song’s hook, you can genuinely feel the rapper’s emotional connection to the track’s meaning. Lil Nexus describes the hurt he’s felt throughout life and why this moved him to take time to re-center himself.
The beat featured in “I’m Back,” produced by ightdensonny, is a bop on its own. But with Lil Nexus’s lyrics and easy-moving flows, you experience all the best aspects of the rhythm. The beat carries a Juice WRLD or J.I. the Prince of N.Y. essence.
The bass and 808s give the song a classic hip-hop feel. However, the rhythm also incorporates softer elements, like gentle piano melodies, to balance the tones. This juxtaposition gives “I’m Back” an emotion-evoking feel, and Lil Nexus’s bars match this tone.
Overall, “I’m Back” was the perfect way for Lil Nexus to reintroduce himself to the music game. The flows the Milwaukee artist lays down throughout the song are never-ending heat. And “I’m Back” really showcases Lil Nexus’s ability to take a beat and elevate it using his talents.
Over 35,000 people have streamed “I’m Back” on Spotify alone, and this song is only getting more attention (rightfully so). If you need more reasons to check out Lil Nexus, songs like “Woke” and “Feeling Rude” will help you realize why this rapper earns tens of thousands of streams per song.
