$mooth Water | “Electric”, Magnetic Energy
There’s no reason to pass up on $mooth Water, especially considering his emphatic single, “Electric.” For two-and-a-half minutes straight, the Brooklyn-born rapper covers you in goosebumps from head to toe. Seriously, you can’t skip over $mooth Water’s sound.
$mooth Water immediately floods your aural senses with an aesthetically-pleasing sound. That said, the track starts with a sped-up version of “Electric Love” by BØRNS. After 30 seconds, $mooth Water bursts through the speakers with unexpected power and intensity. The juxtaposing vibes cause you to freeze in your tracks as goosebumps cover your skin.
The beat alone featured in “Electric” could demand an article of its own. The blend of a well-known indie beat with hard-hitting hip-hop elements brings forth something unexpected. Although it doesn’t seem like everything should work as well as it does, $mooth Water’s musical genius alters it into something mind-bending.
Diving further into the beat, the amount of energy you feel is incredible. A heavy bass partners with a flood of rap elements to present something you’ve never experienced before. There’s no doubt the rhythm featured in “Electric” is unique. But it’s $mooth Water that really gets things going.
$mooth Water 4 AM just means I’m smooth like water at 4 AM in the morning – $mooth Water.
$mooth Water’s vocals, delivery style, and cadence bring “Electric” to another level. The rapper pounds through the speakers, throwing down bars with aggression and passion you can feel from 100 miles away. The beat featured in “Electric” was designed for $mooth Water and him alone; that’s how palpable the connection is.
What’s more, the artist switches up his flow throughout the song. At some points, $mooth Water pops through the speakers with a Joyner Lucas-like flow. Then, at other points, he delivers a more steady flow. Whatever style he presents, $mooth Water proves he’s on a different level than most.
As “Electric” dies down, the beat transitions to a quiet sample of “Electric Love.” The gentle ending gives you a moment to try and comprehend what just happened to your ears (which you’ll need). And don’t be surprised if you repeat “Electric” right away just to soak in $mooth Water’s talent again.
$mooth Water drops “Electric” shortly after releasing his first album, “TUNE IN AT 4 AM.” Both projects were inspired by the rapper’s hunger and show how eager he is to share his sound with the world.
Just the drive and energy that I put behind [my music] came from how hungry I was to show everyone that I really have the talent to make good music – $mooth Water.
The elite level $mooth Water’s first album reaches is almost unbelievable given that he’s only been making music for a couple of years. The eight-track project mixes low-key beats, trap-like music, and other sounds that just hit the ear right.
$mooth Water strives to maintain his consistency. This involves improving his visuals, performing live, and dropping more mesmerizing songs. Make sure you don’t miss out on $mooth Water and follow the rapper on Instagram.
