New York City rapper Fourfive has been developing a distinctive trap sound that is both woozy and hard-hitting. After returning from a tour with $NOT last year, Fourfive shows no signs of slowing down his musical output in the trap underground scene. Following his recent album Clean Money, he has now released a new single called “Nobu Trick,” signaling more music on the way.
The track is a familiar trap banger, featuring sharp, syncopated drums typical of many rage-style songs today. While it uses less distortion than some others, the song still has a gritty edge that adds to its overall atmosphere.
On “Nobu Trick,” Fourfive experiments with several synth tones. The lyrics are predictable for the genre, but the music stands out. The song’s foundation is built on a cycling, low arpeggio, layered with piercing, soaring countermelodies. Additional touches throughout create a captivating and instantly satisfying sound. Fourfive’s smooth and laid-back vocal delivery enhances this vibe.
It remains unclear whether this single will lead to a full project or if it is part of a series of individual releases. Regardless, this new track offers a woozy and bouncy energy. Given how common this style has become in hip-hop, it will be interesting to see how Fourfive evolves his sound to become more unique and recognizable. He doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel, but with his charisma and musical sense, he has the potential to stand out.
