This one gives me Roddy Ricch meets Lecrae vibes. That’s to say, he’s giving us dark street lyricism which is, at the same time, intertwined with heavy Christian energies. I’m not the one who usually posts heavy Auto-Tuned raps. However, this one spoke to me because, while I’ve never been hemmed up and locked up, I once had a relationship with God that wasn’t the greatest. On “How to Pray,” COLT provides an open letter to God which is based on a conversation COLT had with a friend after getting arrested. What helps hold this one together is the beat, which features a piano-heavy melody. It’s emotional enough that it makes you hang onto every word COLT gives us on this one. Check out the track below and remember to support dope music in all its forms.
