In Hip-Hop, there are a few records that every artist just has to have in their discography. First, there are the records thanking your mother, grandmother, etc. for helping you out and believing in your career at its lowest moments. Then, there are the tracks about the moment you knew that you had made it and become a great success story. “My Last” by Big Sean and “Over” by Drake are two that come to mind. The third and final tried and true record is the song about a day in the life of the artist. While Ice Cube’s “A Good Day” and “Waves” by Joey Bada$$ are two of my personal favorites, these records are typically the hardest to make. Imagine rapping for two or three minutes about everyday, benign events and making it interesting to the listener. Many artists fail this test, but some pass it with flying colors. Recently, Texas native YKG Hotboy tried his hand at it with “Another Day” and he showed out.
At the top of the month, one of the fastest rising artists out of Texas, YKG Hotboy, dropped his newest record, “Another Day.” Backed by hardedge production from Eardrummer’s own Resource, YKG Hotboy’s energetic delivery paints a vivid picture of his life as he balances the streets of Texas and his blossoming career. Along the way, he dodges nosy police officers and receives a hilarious visit from his neighbor.
“Wake up early in the morning just to get to the dough, brush my teeth and wash my face, and then I put on my clothes, hit the kitchen, whip a eighth,” he raps.
“Hit my cells and grab my keys, go to my brother house, hol’ up, hol’ up, wait, forgot my weed, I need my Brussels sprouts.”
