New York-based emcee 212 Laurent grabs your attention with his latest single “No Good” – a track that tapers the raw energy of trap-infused rap with the laid-back poise of someone who’s a seasoned vet at navigating unpredictable waters. The track slickly balances atmosphere and rhythm, its minimalistic trap beat accentuated by a haunting piano melody that infuses the song with a touch of melancholic beauty. Laurent‘s effortless flow cascades over the beat like cool water, his words rolling out in a smooth cadence that grips listeners with its undeniable vibe.
As the second entry on his recent album, Real is RARE, the track sees Laurent joined by guest rapper Jus, whose ultra laid-back style meshes well with 212‘s charismatic delivery. As the verses unfold, Laurent‘s rhythmic flow acts as a counterweight to Jus‘ mellow monotone delivery, creating a nice chemistry that keeps listeners on their toes. The song’s hook is particularly catchy, with Laurent‘s melodic delivery making it an easy one to remember. Grounded by self-confidence and street-smart resilience, “No Good” is a strong offering that makes known the best qualities of its two featured artists while delivering gritty trap energy with a lot of style.
