OT Deezy Embraces the Freedom after the Struggle on ‘Double Back’
OT Deezy, a rapper based in Euclid, OH, has carved out a unique niche within trap Hip Hop. As a white artist, his presence stands out and sets him apart from his peers. But his powerful blend of aggression and vulnerability, combined with a gift for storytelling through music, truly sets him apart.
Looking to the future, Deezy is focused on cementing his place in the industry and using his voice to lead a new generation of Hip Hop artists. His determination and dedication to his craft are unwavering, and he hopes to inspire other independent artists in his community to keep pushing toward success.
A fascinating exploration of the justice system and how to push back on it, OT Deezy cuts with his latest release “Double Back.” How he ties together the sense of community, the fake friends, the real ones, and everybody in between adds to the kaleidoscope array. Word choice races through as he goes from everywhere to the Gram to the ability to fight back. It all has a similar cadence of constantly trying to assert his voice. The commanding way he takes over the track adds to its visceral energy. Nothing stays the same as he continually switches things up, changing focus.
The piano sets the tense mood. Synthetic strings rest in the background, working their magic to settle an edgy vibe that refuses to let up. He confronts the listener, and the song demands volume. Going for a concentrated hit, the beat bounces off the walls. Many layers come together to create this tapestry. No respite from the anger; the song doubles and triples down on this sense of needing to reach for it and grab it. The pace goes breakneck as every beat has a degree of righteous indignation. Many twists and turns are inherently unexpected, for its structure is Byzantine. The evolution of the sound becomes wholly knotted as the final stretch lets loose, allowing the song to collapse until there is nothing left.
“Double Back” meditates the chaotic world as OT Deezy frees himself from unjust punishment. OUT NOW and it’s pure FIRE!!!
