Chase Martin – Doing Fine [Single]

Chase Martin‘s “Doing Fine” hits like a fresh yet nostalgic nod to cipher-styled hip-hop, blending sharp lyrics with a cassette-wave wrapped beat that seems to tap into the electro eeriness of throwback Italian horror flicks. Despite catching this gem two months post-drop, it’s clear it’s been steadily helping Chase carve out his niche in the rap game. The Carolina emcee’s voice, marked by a blend of defiance and wit, stands out particularly when he quips, “Don’t rock chains, my pinky ring don’t got a glist / And don’t need one, I know just who the fuck I is.” Bars like these put Martin’s stock on display and show that he doesn’t care about the showy signs of success that others in the field might value. The beat backdrop, with its eerie organ and string samples, adds a haunting depth – making the track thump like a classic. It’s this mix of clever wordplay and the track’s head-nodding beat that cements “Doing Fine” as a standout number from his recently dropped 2001 project.
