Reaper Mook – “Plug Language”
Reaper Mook carries himself with authority. He doesn’t need to yell to be heard, and he delivers his lines as if they were cold statements of fact. On “Plug Language,” the Long Beach rapper muses over an elegant slice of smooth jazz. “I just smoked a wood that remind me who I was/A nigga with genius in everything he does,” he brags over a horn loop. Where others might find paranoia, Reaper Mook finds confidence. He peppers the song with these moments of reversal, like when he boasts about his kid’s jewelry (“Diamond bezel on my baby”) only to deflate it by pointing out the absurdity (“Five thousand dollars on an infant wrist/Is this nigga crazy?”). He’s self-assured enough to laugh at himself.
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.
