Better With You - Zeke Tha Freak (Pop) We welcome trap-soul artist Zeke Tha Freak to the blog this week with latest track “Better With You.” Zeke’s got us in our retro vibes with this one, harkening back to the R&B/Hip Hop crossover tracks of the early 00s, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mac Miller, Anderson Paak and Childish Gambino. We, however, get real early Kanye and Twista productions from this one, with a slippery 808 sliding over a mellow R&B backing with some delightfully analog horn hits. We get a featured female vocalist for the chorus, while Zeke spits his rhymes about love and companionship. It’s an expertly mixed track with a real knock for the car—a great groove.
Best Lyric: “Slow walk to the back of the bar.”
