Above, we’ve got the latest from Tireek and Nyzahir, “Baby Boy.” It’s got a real J. Cole sort of feel to it, from the way the beat subtly switches throughout the project to the cadence. “Boy” is about what it’s like to be a Black man in America, the good, bad and ugly. The average Black man goes through a sh*t ton of things before we even hit adulthood. Between people pressuring you to engage in sex or illicit activities, generational trauma and our own depression and anxieties, we all have it pretty damn rough. No, this isn’t the Trauma Olympics; everyone has some wild sh*t they’ve got to deal with over the course of their lives. However, there’s still nothing like a Black boy growing into a Black man with the experiences he’s been dealt. This is a powerful song, one that deserves to be played as loud and as often as possible. Check it out and support dope music in all its forms.
