H3RO‘s “Fake It Till You Make It” hits the ground running, flaunting infectious energy and driven by slick sampling that hooks you right from the start. However, the production soon falters, trapped in a horn sample that just doesn’t have that spark to truly grab and keep the listener hooked. The track kicks off with promise but quickly reveals its one-note tendency, where the looping just doesn’t quit. While H3RO shows undeniable chops, especially in the tongue-in-cheek verses where his potential shines, the beat’s EQ change during the chorus really jolts you—going from muted to blaring, like flipping a switch without warning. For me, the abrupt transitions proved a bit too jarring, detracting from the lyricist’s solid flow that otherwise highlights his skills with the pen. Despite these hiccups, “Fake It Till You Make It” has a lot to offer with S.C. emcee’s on-point flow and mockingly sharp rhymes that definitely have some meat to them. H3RO‘s got the makings of something great with this one, but he needed to polish this diamond in the rough a little bit more to fully realize it’s full potential.
