Song You Need: YUNGMORPHEUS’ refreshing clarity
16.03.2023 - 17:07 / thefader.com
Six weeks away from the release of his forthcoming 19-track album From Whence It Came, YOUNGMORPHEUS has graced us with another glimpse of his clear, uncompromising vision. “Playin’ the Same Game,” which follows “Layman’s Terms” as the record’s second single, is two-and-a-half minutes of precise, unhurried bars over a silky, retro instrumental.
Throughout the hookless cut, MORPHEUS’ rhymes feel studied but never fussed over, saying exactly what they mean without overdoing it. His voice steady, he moves with refreshingly deliberate purpose that’s increasingly rare in all artforms written and oral.
“Don’t even try if you’re heart ain’t in it / He ain’t really do nothing, it was part of his image,” he raps early on, firing off a free shot at no one and everyone at the same time. It’s calculated lines like these, subtle yet pointed, that separate him from the pack without exposing him to the wilderness unnecessarily.
