Merakai – Reminiscence (feat. Ausar) [Single]

Up-and-coming producer Merakai has sculpted a real spellbinder called “Reminiscence” that’s set to instantly tug at your nostalgia. Woven into his EP Recollections, this song, featuring Chicago-based emcee Ausar‘s compelling verses, feels like a sepia-toned photograph, holding the weight of bitter and sweet memories within its frame.

Ausar‘s voice flows with a melodic touch and is filled with rhythmic shifts as it spins tales with both subtlety and gravitas.  His bars flicker between the trials of family ties to the dizzying allure of fame, emphasizing life’s contrasts. Lines like “Gum cover the hole in my air mattress don’t burst my bubble” underscore Ausar‘s humble beginnings, while “…contracts on that table turn the figments into shrouds” spotlight the murkier waters of success. In this joint, as the chorus rides the wave of dreams that won’t back down, his verses dive deep into that craving we all share – to not just get by but to thrive in this world. And the groove-laden gauze of Merakai’s beat is like a bridge between eras – the soulful echoes of the past meeting the stone-chiseled rhythms of today. With snares that pop like a fist pounding metal, flutes that serenade, and synths that electrify, he’s letting us know that he’s onto something special.

Amidst the hustle of today’s ever-evolving hip-hop landscape, “Reminiscence” holds its ground. It’s not only a song but a mood encapsulated in soundwaves. Through this piece, Merakai and Ausar invite listeners to lean back, absorb every word, and immerse themselves in the nostalgia it evokes.
