Alright alright: let’s leave elegance at the door, for now, and let’s instead proceed towards intensity and fierceness. Kansas City creative BennyT has us covered, sharing a tight and vibrant hip-hop banger with a healthy balance of old-school coolness and a modern, gloomy vibe. ‘Too Much Pride’ is the single showcasing everything the American rapper has to offer – and it’s a triumph.
Dark and serious, ‘Too Much Pride’ seems to embrace trap territories, drawing a distinct line from previous records, such as ‘For The World’ – a much more luscious and airy episode and embracing a distinct R&B character. BennyT’s slick flow is almost hypnotising, delivering meaningful bars with an almost casual, relaxed attitude. Yet, the lyricism in it is deep and nuanced, and that’s where the magic lies.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the project, the talented musician explains: “Too Much Pride” is about the hustle, the loyalty among friends, and the drive to succeed. When I create, I think about the stories my clients want to tell – it’s not just about making a video – it’s about making something they’re proud to share.”
