Tableek – Lost [Single]

Tableek’s new joint “Lost,” the first taste from Inside Looking Out, sets the tone with that midtempo knock that slaps you like a backhand. Roddy Rod cooked this one up, laying down a canvas full of gritty, boom-bap bones, laced with chopped-up jazz like it’s still ’94 but with a twist grounded in today’s sound. The kicks hit hard, the snares snap sharp, and there’s this haunting woodwind creeping through, layered over a smoky trumpet. It brings that true to life boom-bap energy with no gimmicks.
When Tableek jumps in, you know it’s serious. His flow cuts through the beat with sharp, seasoned precision. Lyrically, he’s out here speaking raw truth, straight and unfiltered. From the jump, he’s reflecting on the crossroads—caught between the “fortunate soul” he’s been and the hard truths around him. Street survival dominates the narrative.

“I had the drop on him…/ I had the shot on him…/ I had it locked on him…/This gotta stop.” The hook carries the weight of tension. It reflects a man in control; holding back despite having the power to take it further. His control is what gives the track its punch – layering restraint over a backdrop of raw energy.
By the abbreviated third verse, Tableek turns introspective. He begins to ask himself where he’s heading—whether to ride the same wave or move in a new direction. The mix of street insight and deep personal thought runs through his words, which fans of Tableek’s work have come to expect
For fans, this joint demands attention. Tableek’s own words, “You NEED to hear this,” say it all. While Roddy Rod’s beat holds steady, carrying Tableek’s sharp lyricism toward something big on the horizon. Inside Looking Out drops in November so stay on the look out for what’s next.
