Sane | ‘Check’, The People’s Rockstar Trapper
Bursting into the rap game from the southside of Chicago, Sane shows off his diverse artistic profile on the track ‘Check.’ The song, produced by Keys, is inspired by his past struggles during his lowest points in life.
Sane’s motive behind the song was to convey the average person’s day-to-day conflicts. We at Rap Fiesta had the chance to ask Sane what ‘Check’ means to him.
‘Check’ is a collective piece of my inner feelings, emotions, and drive to have a better life to support my family and myself. – Sane
Sane, who also refers to himself as ‘The People’s Rockstar Trapper,’ successfully intertwines both trap and emo-rap influences on ‘Check.’ The song’s trap and emo-rap influences immediately make themselves apparent.
The relaxed beat mixes soft piano keys, deep 808 kicks, and compatible snare rolls to create a smooth rhythm. The polished beat compliments Sane’s steady flow and high-pitched, auto-tuned ad-libs that bear a passing resemblance to Lil Keed.
‘Check’ carries a wavy vibe while describing real-life emotional trauma that’s relatable to anyone who has been grinding towards a dream. Within the first minute of the track, Sane declares the song’s meaning. He quickly entangles you into the infectious chorus with his melodic runs and top-notch flow.
Throughout the four-minutes, the committed rapper draws attention to everything he’s struggled with in life. One main aspect of ‘Check’ that makes it so engaging is the genuine emotion you feel from Sane as he jumps from chorus to well-crafted verses.
The Chi-Town artist pours his authentic heart into all of his lyrics, pulling all your attention to his past hardships.
Sane’s stage name derives from the lowkey, calm, down-to-earth personality he manages while striving for accolades in his career. After losing his brother, Sane was forced to come face-to-face with his inner demons. Although most people would fall victim to such emotional trauma, Sane used it to propel his music career forward.
Although the up and coming Midwest artist has been crafting music his entire life, he only started taking it seriously two years ago. Based on the insane talent Sane has displayed in two years, there’s great anticipation for his future. With a bop like ‘Check,’ there’s no doubt Sane’s continuous hard work and consistent grind is paying off.
Sane is striving for even more in the rap industry and has big things planned for his future. Some of Sane’s goals this year include growing his fanbase, dropping more music, and developing his craft as an artist.
There’s no doubt Sane’s commitment and labor are about to earn him some well-deserved recognition. To keep up with all the moves Sane is making, follow The People’s Rockstar Trapper on Instagram and Spotify.
