Ragin Rose | ‘Drift Away’, A Walk Down Memory Lane
Paving your own lane as an artist is a truly difficult task. Not every artist is capable of this, but up and coming rapper Ragin Rose sure is. The New York-base artist steps away from his usual energetic delivery, and takes a more melodic approach on his newest single titled, ‘Drift Away.’
Throughout the song Ragin displays tremendous melodic capabilities, but what really drew us in here at Rap Fiesta are the melodies at both the beginning and end of the song. Moving from Mexico to Texas at the age of 6, Ragin Rose cherishes his childhood memories by bringing them to life through his music. These specific melodies were inspired by the memories Ragin has when he and his parents would go to the mall and hear the song, ‘Drift Away,’ play on the intercoms.
Produced by BlackMayo, and co-produced and engineered by JAB, the song contains mesmerizing and elegant lead keys, incredibly hard hitting kicks, and a drum pattern that will get any listener up and out of their seats. Although the intention of this track is to calm and sooth, Ragin Rose’s vocal delivery makes it hard to not let loose and get moving. Combine strong production and engineering with Ragin Rose’s dynamic vocal performance, and we are left with a great banger to start the summer!
With only two years under his belt, it is safe to say Ragin Rose is an absolute threat to the game. Ragin is currently working on a project titled, ‘808 Thanks Heartbreak,’ so there is certainly more music on the way. Additionally, once the Corona Virus restrictions are put to an end, expect to see Ragin Rose performing throughout all of New York City, and potentially a big album release party as well!
