Aflacko probably wouldn’t admit that “Main Hoe” is a love song, even though it is. The Oakland crooner is adamant that he’s a cold-hearted player, yet his woozy vocals and melodies sound lovelorn. So even when he sings, “She think she got me in my feelings/Whole time I was chilling,” over a Bay Area style instrumental heavy on fingersnaps and percussion (which sounds like someone slamming a school locker door repeatedly), I don’t quite believe him. He’s just built up a wall to save himself from the unpredictability of catching feelings.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
