Don’t Go - Orca (Hiphop) Orca’s new track Don’t Go takes us back to the days of T-Pain, with the main feature of the track being the intentional lean on the autotune button. In fact, the entire production feels lifted from the late 00s, which is a pleasant return to hiphop’s past, when it more frequently crossed over into Top 40. While the majority of the song is carried by the robotic autotuned leads, along with some tight harmonies that provide great ear candy, towards the end of the track we have a great switch-up with a rap verse that is actually giving us the flow of an even earlier time period—Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony. The production itself is extremely tight, with swirling synths broken up by those hyper-crisp trap drums. For us, this is a track for cruising down the highway.
Best Lyric: “You never knew ‘bout my mental state.”
