RICO 2 SMOOVE STRONG POINTS
OREPARK LISTENES AND ANALYSES WHAT RICO DOES BEST
UNIQUENESS
RICO SERVES AS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR CONNECTING TO A AUDIENCE THAT NEVER HAD A ARTIST THEY CAN PURELY IDENTIFY WITH. HE REPRESENTS WHO HE IS AND HIS HERITAGE IN A WAY THAT RESONATES WITH THOSE WHO SHARE HIS UNIQUE QUALITIES.
WORDPLAY
WHEN LISTENING TO 2 SMOOVE’S RHYMES YOU CAN INSTANTLY PINPOINT THE USE OF KEEN WORDPLAY. THE WAY THAT THE LYRICS CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER THROUGH METAPHORS, USING WORDS IN DIFFERENT CONTEXT AND STILL FLOWS IN HARMONY WITH THE SONG MAKE HIS TRACKS A GREAT LISTEN
WORK ETHIC
FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE TYPE OF LIFESTYLE A ARTIST LIVES KNOWS THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING. WORKING ON THIER CRAFT, WORKING WITH OTHER ARTIST, PROMOS, AND EVEN WORKING ON THEMSELVES. YOU CAN SEE RICO IS NOT SLOWING DOWN AND CONTINUES TO KEEP THE FOOT ON THE GAS BY CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING HITS
