Kurst - The Oracle

The Oracle - Kurst (HipHop/Rap) First, we are absolutely in love with the instrumental to this track. That short-verbed vocal chant is absolute heaven—gives a very Naos “Adore You” kinda feel. Kurst himself is a brilliant lyricist, and apparently a huge Disney fan! Take a shot for every reference as you tear it up to this bop on the dance floor. Delivery-wise, Kurst is giving a 00s kind of flow—I’d put this track on a playlist with Eminem, or if going more contemporary maybe J Cole. Kurst’s voice has a real grit to it, which with his meticulous layering makes his entire vocal line pure earcandy without a single FX trick. When it comes to the message of the song, we love when an artist is delivering their ambition, drive and confidence to succeed as they continue to put in the work. And although we are no oracle ourselves, we can certainly see success for Kurst.
Best Lyric: “Like Jafar, I’m getting greedy.”
