“Drop That” begins with a euphoric, sweeping intro complete with ticking percussion, slippery bass, and an empowering “we gonna drop that” chant, courtesy of Southern Hip-hop artist Al Kapone. Heavenly vocal samples are interwoven with the other effects, giving the track a cerebral feeling that is ever-present in any LSDREAM associated production. His psychedelic fingerprints can clearly be heard on just about every aspect of “Drop That’s” production style. Fuzzy undertones of bass provide a firm foundation for the artists to draw inspiration from. An alarm-like sound and “WAHOOOO” sound effect lead us into the first verse.
“Now go and drop that. Throw your head back. Throw your head back. Yeah we got that, ain’t no way to stop that… Energy on ten now. You want it, I’ve got that. All into the beat, feel the heatness of the dope track. NOW GO AND DROP THAT!” -raps Al Kapone over massive bass.
The spiraling bass fully takes hold, as pounding drums work in tandem with Al Kapone’s dynamic flow. His lyrics are bold and confident in the dopeness of this track. Glistening, intergalactic effects help to balance out the extra wonky bass, as Al Kapone continues to demonstrate his incredible flow. His low, deep tone and delivery are a perfect companion to the other song elements. These shimmering production choices help to launch the listener into orbit. The drop perfectly meshes the styles of TVBOO and LSDREAM, giving unfamiliar listeners a unique introduction to both artists. LSDREAM’s distinct “plamp” style is present here, accompanied by TVBOO’s chunky production style. NICE. The bass sputters, as Al Kapone’ maniacal laughter leads to a bridge, perfect for a nighttime cruise under the bright city lights.
“it’s the bass. It’s the beat. It’s the way that it feel in my soul” – raps Al with a notable twang, showing off his Southern roots. The “drop that” chant returns with steady drums gradually build up to another drop, as the bass wonks back and forth. This second “drop” is a bit of a teaser, which would be PERFECT for throwing off a live festival or club audience. Instead of a loud crescendo, we are greeted by a quick techno-like romp that bridges into the actual second drop. Well done! This second drop matches the energy of the bridge, as sweeping wonks cause an involuntary (and much welcomed) head bobbing within the listener. The drop is a bit more gelatinous in form than the previous one, putting much more emphasis on the “plamp” LSDREAM sound. The bridge from the middle of the song returns to help carry us out of the intense bass battle that we have been through.
This is a great track for EDM veterans and rave babies alike! It is a great introduction to the sounds of all three collaborating artists and a true treat for those who are fans of all three. LSDREAM’s “plamp” stylings and intergalactic production style mesh extremely well with the blue-collar wonks of TVBOO and Al Kapone’s twangy Memphis rap flow. Check this one out FOR SURE!
