What makes Whodini Blak’s new single, “Built 4 Greatness” such a compelling and convincing piece of work is the fateful combination of skill and will to rhythmically put together a track that contains many elements, not least a fair deal of melody, in such a personal way, with songwriting that never ever leaves the listener with a sense of going astray. Whodini Blak’s efficient rapping and attention-craving voice will leave you in an inspirational mood. Your head will literally be brimming with words and messages just waiting to be tied together.
“Built 4 Greatness” manages to further distinguish Whodini Blak’s sensibility to balance seriousness with entertainment in a truly original way. This is a top class track with a hip hop foundation overlaid with a mid tempo blue-eyed soul and pop flavored harmonies. The track is stranger, artsier, and flat-out ballsier than its predecessor.
Whodini Blak is running through the commercial tone era, where hooks and dances powers entire careers. In fact this era of rap is often considered disposable, too. But Whodini sidesteps all of that, bringing to the table not just his sound but his swagger, and the sense of being unbothered, unburdened, and invincible. Also known for his intricate metaphors and wordplay which he uses to help convey his messages and creativity, Whodini Blak gives us a storylines on this project both with a deeper meaning that takes a little bit of thinking to fully comprehend and understand.
“Built 4 Greatness” has everything you’d expect and more. Every word he spits will set your mind in motion. Whodini Blak flexes his lyrical prowess – demanding that nobody underrate him – over a banger produced by Bobby Stixx. Although a banger, Whodini stays true to his own persona on the track, something that many artists writing hits can have trouble with.
The California-based MC is more than ready to take it to the next level with this track. Releasing a single from your album is like putting together a trailer for a movie you need to promote, so it’s an important process and needs to be done carefully. Built 4 Greatness (Prod by Bobby Stixx) is done very carefully, and forms part of the “God’s Plan” album.
