NC MADE ME – Misery (feat. Expjose) [Single]

In “Misery,” rapper NC MADE ME (aka M E) and Expjose blend straightforward honesty with smooth, soulful vibes. The track doesn’t hesitate, going straight into the finer points of complicated love entanglements (aka being the other man) . With a mix of openness and raw sincerity, Expjose initiates the song, questioning, “Baby, I have a question/ Are you sure you love affection?/ I just sense that you don’t want me” His voice, combining a sense of strength and gentleness, flows over a relaxed beat that borrows from Amel Larrieux‘s early 2000’s hit “Sweet Misery.”

The rhythm is driven by deep bass notes and crisp snares, while airy synths and a hint of jazz guitar keep the mood calm.This environment creates just the right backdrop for an emotional ebb and flow. M E jumps in with more straightforward, less emotionally fraught lines that nonchalantly reference being “the side” dude and add a different aspect to the story. So when he rhymes about gripping hips like a nickel nine and the fact that sex moves everything inside the secret lover’s “nasty minds”, he serves up a more detached, almost cynical view against Expjose’s emotional openness.

In “Misery,” NC MADE ME and Expjose bare a bit of their souls through soulful vibes and candid lyrics. Steered by plain-spoken sincerity, they travel over the jumbled terrain of love – examining both its tender moments and rough edges.
