Clip refuses to waste her time on anyone who isn’t worth it. The New York City rapper’s dismissive delivery and monotone vocals fit neatly into her untouchable aesthetic. On “Calvin K,” she wants it to be known that she keeps a short leash: “If you act up, I’ll cut you off like that,” she raps over the song’s distorted drum’n’bass production. Her icy words cut through the beat’s organized chaos, making it clear that there’s a deadly seriousness to her promises to leave losers in the dust. She’s not playing around.
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.
Check out previous Ones, and listen to new rap from Clip and more on our Spotify playlist.
