Track by Track Review

Fake It There are some EDM elements here, but this is more percussive in terms of the musical background than it is melodic. That's particularly true once it gets past the introduction. This is more of a hip hop piece than it is anything else. A lot of the vocals are raps, but there some sung ones, too. There are points where the processing on the voice is a bit annoying, too. Still, this has a solid groove and works reasonably well.
