<p><img class=" wp-image-5029 aligncenter" src="https://rockthepigeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/9-26-18-drew.jpg" alt="9 26 18 Drew" width="459" height="459" />Drew&#8217;s &#8216;Face Me&#8217; is straightforward rap music out of Chicago with a well-sampled, well-crafted backing track. This rapper &#8220;finds inspiration in Kanye West, J. Cole, Drake, Trey Songz and Frank Ocean to comprise a vaguely familiar, yet completely original sound.&#8221; He says he &#8220;began writing at just eight years old and recorded his freshman single in early 2017. Since then, Drew has had various performances in Chicago and Miami.&#8221; The vocals on here are solid &#8211; nothing super out of the box, but strong nonetheless. What really makes the track stand out is the sampling and construction of the beat, a process this artist did completely by himself. It&#8217;s really cool when people use existing vocals as the base for a new song. It switches up the traditional rap formula without alienating the genre&#8217;s sampling roots. I doubt Drew took any influence from this, but the track reminds me of Indian Summer&#8217;s &#8216;Angry Son&#8217;. This is a well-done piece from a talented producer.
