RECKYPACKS - “PERFECT THE FLOW” [74%]

RECKYPACKS, the rising star from South London, continues his streak with the release of "Perfect the Flow", his third visual this year. In this raw underground Hip-Hop track, RECKY delves into the gritty realities of trapping life, addressing its dangers and the precautionary measures he takes, “always close the curtains, blocking out the nosy neighbours”. He candidly discusses the complexities of relationships, highlighting the allure of the trap lifestyle on certain individuals.

The video, skillfully shot and edited by Black Cloud Visuals, features fellow underground artists VILLY and CAL1STO prominently. CAL1STO exudes pure enjoyment, adding to the video's vibrant energy. Divided into three main scenes – RECKY's intense performance, moments outside the venue, and glimpses into his dressing room – the video's fast-paced, darkly graded edit captures RECKY's world, filled with both intensity and camaraderie.

CAGE GOT THAT COLD's production amplifies the track's impact with a typical Detroit beat. The music resonates with deep bass, punchy lasers and moody pads, creating a thick, immersive atmosphere that perfectly complements RECKY's gritty storytelling.

"Perfect the Flow" might lack a narrative but compensates with its authentic portrayal of RECKY's reality. His honesty about the complexities of life, love and loyalty, combined with the skillful production, makes this track a compelling addition to his growing discography. As RECKYPACKS continues to perfect his flow, he solidifies his place in the heart of the underground Hip-Hop scene.
