This past February saw the release of MOTION, the debut mixtape from DMV crank experimenter rxhavinmotion. The young rapper’s alias might suggest a half-serious gimmick, a play for the depressingly lucrative meme rap sector. But for 10 tracks, HavinMotion brings us with hunger and style into his section, a place that’s covered in stains but unmistakably turned up. His flow is reminiscent of RxK Nephew and Rx Papi: slurred, near-hoarse, and vibrating with the energy of some recently completed misdeed. “I ain’t been to sleep in like three days, I just be in that trap,” he raps on “In That Car,” where fairytale chords soundtrack a tale about the pull of the criminal lifestyle. Beneath the sly humor, skillful character construction keeps us hooked: “N***** want me to rap but I’m tryna get rich.” Read the Discover Blogly on MOTION at the link in bio. #DiscoverBlogly #HavinMotion
