LnO – Make It Happen (feat. N.M.C.) [Single]

Seattle’s burgeoning hip-hop scene just got a fresh injection of soul and grit, courtesy of LnO and his recent single “Make It Happen,” featuring N.M.C. This track, part of LnO‘s latest album Hi Lo, serves as theme music for anyone who’s been knocked down by life but refuses to stay there.

The beat takes you on an audio trip back to the ’70s, blending soul-jazz loops with chill flute melodies and breezy percussions. It’s the kind of backdrop that makes you close your eyes and zone out for a minute while your mind’s flipping through your own personal highlight reel.  LnO and N.M.C bring a unique energy to the table, balancing laid-back tones with an unmistakable hunger in their flows.

With no façades flaunted, the rhymes and lines on this track zero in on the daily grind that we all know too well. LnO kicks things off, repeating “I’mma make it happen” like a personal mantra. He talks about what it’s like to be strapped for dough while staying relentless in his mission to make it. Bars like “Truth is really I’ve been solo from the gun/ Devil tried to kill me a couple of times, I ain’t run/ to whatever life gave me/ Even when it weighed a ton, ain’t nobody tried to save me…” show that he’s taken more than a few hits in this life, but he’s still standing.

“When nothing is going right you have to make a choice. While options vary, the option I’ve always chosen is to make it happen.”

-LnO

N.M.C takes the baton and runs with it, opening with a nod to some tried and true maternal wisdom while simultaneously confessing his own doubts. His lines “We ain’t kids, it ain’t fun no more when we pretend” and “I only feel like I belong when I be rapping” don’t sugarcoat the harsh realities of adult life and the solace he finds in his craft. Both artists let their life stories fuel their lyrics, adding a layer of realism that’s palpable.

In a nutshell, “Make It Happen” is a call to action. It’s a life philosophy packed into a four-minute track. It’s about facing adversity head-on and refusing to let life’s obstacles dictate your path. This song doesn’t just play; it speaks to the soul, urging you to keep pushing, no matter the odds.
