Final Outlaw

The track has a romantic-period style intro that sounds like a violin struggling to maintain it’s composure.  It’s a good fit for the rest of the song, as Final Outlaw describes the struggle to maintain independent and free from the temptation to go mainstream and find a niche in radio rap.  The lyrics portray a man that has no desire to please people but is willing to get his own on his own terms.

“Every day is struggle to move on but I made it through another song, and people said I would never make it far but I kept movin proving all these jealous suckers wrong, nigga please, I’ll die before beggin for exposure, come a little closer, baby let me show, you don’t like me then stop the track and go listen to some other faggots conscious rap”

That is the first verse that is followed by a more inspiring message of not looking over your shoulder and staying strong in hard times.  What I like in the lyrics is his ability to inspire while staying gangster, a tough combo that is hard to pull off.  There is a single-minded toughness in his style that combines substance with style and the listener can easily follow along from line to line.  I have to say that his sound resembles Nas lyricism with a little of Murs’ self-awareness.  It’s catchy enough to stay attentive throughout the song but is not a song that you can put on repeat.  It’s great for it’s refreshing sound and complex lyrics, plus a sick beat.
