In “She Got It,” Ice Meez delivers a track that’s as slick as it is straightforward, wrapping his gritty vocals around a beat that’s stripped down to the bare West Coast essentials. The production, courtesy of DJ Flippp, is a clinic in the less-is-more philosophy; its booming bass and snappy 808-claps create a canvas that’s sparse yet undeniably funky. Synth melodies loop with an infectious groove, reminiscent of G-funk classics, yet Ice Meez doesn’t lean on nostalgia to hook the listener.
His voice, clear with a raspy edge, rides the midtempo rhythm with detached coolness, painting a portrait of a woman whose independence is as much a part of her as the luxury she surrounds herself with. There’s a narrative swagger in his tone, a pride in the story he tells without resorting to braggadocio. The percussive elements in the track – loud crashes that sound like fists banging against sheets of metal – punctuate Meez‘s admiration with explosions of sound that spotlight this woman’s worth.
While the beat might not break new ground, it doesn’t need to; it serves its purpose, laying down a body-rock rhythm that’s easy to sink into or let it grab ahold of you and make you move. It’s the mark of a music-making team that knows that not every song has to try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it reminds us that the wheel can roll smoothly down any boulevard in any city with the right hands guiding it.
The appeal of “She Got It” lies in its straightforward, club-ready vibes and “brush ya shoulders off” bravado. It doesn’t demand meticulous dissection to be enjoyed. It’s content to play its role as a crowd-pleaser and play it well. And that’s the sort of drive that will make sure that this song doesn’t go unnoticed.
“She Got It” is from Ice Meez‘s most recent release, the album Underrated
