Boasting an electrifying production, autotune-laced vocals and a contemporary polish, ‘Rollin’ stands out as a hard-hitting hybrid between hip-hop and pop influences, a slice of striking charisma and kinetic euphoria delivered by rising French creative Lil ‘Mike. Aided by Ingué and Lord Lucci from Hanaya Mafia, the talented young artist has crafted an intriguing four-track EP, ‘HotDamn’, an unapologetic journey into mainstream melodic goodness and personal, bold lyricism.
‘Rollin’ is certainly one of its standout cuts, a fierce and flashy aural cocktail that sounds like a million dollars. It’s almost luxurious, a feature that’s perhaps suggested by the piece’s hypnotic vocals and its lullaby-like delivery. Lil’ Mike is rather adamant about some of the musical heroes that inspire him daily, for instance, Travis Scott and Yeat, among others.
Delving deeper into the meaningful and empowering ethos that propels the new single and the wider EP, Lil’ Mike explains: “‘Rollin’ is about keeping pushing, no matter what comes across your path. This track not only embodies the spirit of the EP in its lyrics and music, but also reflects most of my philosophies.” We suspect such a message to be incredibly relatable. After all, in a world that’s increasingly hard to bear and with people experiencing confusion and lack of purpose, it’s good to be reminded about what really matters… keep pushing and stay true to yourself.
