It’s a good thing that none of Tisakorean’s Texas dance rap anthems went mega-viral. 2019’s “The Mop” came close to reaching that level of popularity, but it never rippled through pop culture like the easy-to-pick-up routines that came before it. While that success would have been nice, it’s a shadow that many rappers can never escape. Instead the Houston rapper and producer has had the freedom to retreat back into the trenches of the internet, sharpen his production chops, and take his music in an even weirder direction. “Silly Dude” doesn’t sound like anything he’s made before; the production is lush enough for a Tyler record and he alters his pitch to robotic Speaker Knockerz levels. It’s a mesmerizing addition to the rapper’s self-proclaimed silly era, which doesn’t seem to have a clear definition. According to his social media, it seems to encompass goofy photos you would find on a middle schooler’s camera roll and back breaking dances. Let’s hope this movement doesn’t land him in physical therapy.
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.
