Kate Bush’s viral popularity, post-Stranger Things S4, meant that, eventually, you’d hear samples of “Running Up That Hill.” The first one I’ve heard thus far, Meggaman’s “Make a Deal with God,” finds the Jersey native channeling his inner Roddy Ricch over a booming sample of Kate Bush’s song. I like the energy the young artist exhibits on the song, but also love the flow and lyrics he’s spitting. He’s seen a lot of negative moments, but he’s taking those negatives and growing because of them and turning them into positives. If you were ever curious what “Running Up That Hill” would sound like if given booming drums and bass and a plea from a young rapper to have God give him back some of his lost ones, check this one out. Support dope music in all its forms.
