Pop Off
Jessie G continues to present himself as quite the character. His latest release ‘Pop Off’ looks you directly in the eye and demands your attention. The intro begins with a sound that almost mimics tiptoeing across a keyboard just as the deeper bass comes in, immediately revealing the energy for the single. The peak of the tune comes in the bridge where Jessie G shifts the pacing of his rapping to enunciate each point clearly. The phonetic change up adds a dynamic layer to a song that is already lyrically playful. His silky flow of metaphors and clever disses run circles around anyone who’s ever doubted his abilities.
The hard-hitting track is accompanied by a video that will surprise and delight most rap fans. The G.O.A.T of all the goats spits the lyrics from the comfort of a farm surrounded by various animals, including a pig. His nonchalant attitude exudes confidence while the pacing and subject matter of his lyrics show us why. With “checks on deck like Nike” Jessie G is prophesying his own imminent success, regardless of surrounding or the path taken to get there.
