Now the mention of “retro” might make you cringe and
shake your head, but there’s no ignoring a strong funk sound on a dance track. Kaytranada has collaborated with Vic Mensa before, but now fellow Chicagoan Towkio is
part of the mix and it’s sounding rich.
It’s not too often you hear a rapper mention “neutron,
electron, proton,” alongside “you should put a coat on.” The quick and clever
flow of the lyrics doesn’t exactly give Kaytranada’s
production a chance to breathe. But the overall track has an energetic spirit
that puts you in a really good mood.
Mensa and Towkio both
belong to the Save Money music
collective. So fans of Chance The Rapper and Childish Gambino will dig what these artists have
created, but the sound is so catchy that it’s not hard for anyone to get caught
on that hook.
The track is full energy throughout, progressing from
sassy forewarning, “don’t you dare try and put me in the friendzone” to an old
school breakdown that builds into yelps and shouts under funky handclaps.
Towkio’s new
album .wavtheory comes
out in April and if “Get Involved” is anything of a taste tester then we’re excited.
