ICYMI: Amir Obe - WISH YOU WELL

One thing I love about rap is the grind that comes with it, and apparently Amir Obe is on it “25 hours every day.” Realism aside, it’s an exaggeration to appreciate - rapping is such an impatient art, with so many working to break into the game, make a name, and build a consistent fan base. This track exemplifies that, sending a warning message to the competition (“know your place”), all the while respecting each individual’s hustle with best wishes. I’m not sure if Obe’s established himself as enough of a rap authority to “wish a nigga would” and invite others to test him, but that’s one of the mainstays of rapping: the allusion of being untouchable. And with “WISH YOU WELL” highlighting his recent EP, praise from Drizzy, and previous work with PartyNextDoor, there’s some solid promise surrounding him. Check out the single below; it’s a light banger with much of the ever-popular rapping/singing muddiness.
