“Hold It Actual” is questionable however self- empowering. On my first hear, the beat and vibe instantly stood out. I felt like I used to be within the studio with Emtee. On second hear, I learn the lyrics with the tune. Emtee raps about driving quick vehicles, sustaining management in conditions the place his opponents attempt to overcome, and letting his viewers know that he nonetheless goes again to the hood to entice as a result of that’s the place he feels most in management and at house. Regardless of the cash he makes from each trapping and music, he nonetheless stays humble.
On a scale of 0–10, the tune earns a powerful 3/10. This tune was mellow and ego-enthused. I loved the beat that I assume Emtee produced, and I considerably, however probably not favored the which means behind his tune. I don’t perceive how the tune may be for “his homies” if he’s flexing all of this new cash and flashy vehicles, and a brand new life-style that they’ll relate. Furthermore, as if they’d a come-up too. I’d’ve revered the tune and the artist extra if he had included that he put his “homies” on to his new life-style as properly, as a result of that reveals a real win. I additionally don’t perceive how he can say he stays humble and true to himself if his come-up was due to the income he made off of the music business and trapping. That’s completely contradictory. Emtee could have stored it actual, however he certainly didn’t hold it humble.
In his lyrics, he says he’s “cruisin’ slowly, don’t want no homie.” How will you be this unchanged man if you happen to really feel as if you don’t want safety/an additional man? Which means all this cash you’ve got brings you unfuckwitable energy. This doesn’t present humility, and this additionally wouldn’t be the case with out his come-up, however I digress. This, in truth, reveals a big ego and alludes to Emtee being a harmful man.
Total, “Hold it Actual” delivers a message that’s speculated to really feel self-empowering and related in right this moment’s society. It displays supposed humility and realness. Emtee makes use of each his lyrics and manufacturing expertise to inspire his listeners and his homies about what life may be and really feel like after a come-up. Total, I’m unimpressed, and this artist has a low re-listen worth in my music library.
