Detroit has certainly made their established furrow in terms of the hip-hop culture that is, nurturing producers and emcees like Dilla and Danny Brown, and you need not expect anything less from Scolla, the HD-featured upcoming talent residing in the Motor City. With influences from all the flanks of the hip-hop sphere, the songwriter and emcee has been through quite a journey, altering his production continually and spewing endless verses about significant issues that revolve around the city he grew up in and other personal encounters. His latest piece, "See How It Goes" (which were admittedly a little late on), positions him alongside vocalist Kay Franklin and New York-based beatmaker Drews That Dude—and the fusion of all their sounds together is, without question, a resounding musical success. A reverberated drum beat sets the piece off with a Kay Franklin vocal sample alluringly in motion, and following is a subtle sweep followed by a highly contagious beat as Scolla’s sole, conquering verse sets in. With motivating lyricism from the very start, the short-lived verse conveys a barrage of notions, in turn provokes a rather uplifting vibe that's always welcome to hear. The aforementioned Franklin sample finds its way in bits and pieces of the track, giving it the tantalizing backdrop it deserves, and Kay and Drew’s production on the piece is definitely worth mentioning too, as they portray old-school techniques with a forward-thinking mind on the outro of the track, continually accessorizing vocal cuts and Scolla’s unexpected whispers that accent the track. Certainly, the three's talent makes "See How It Goes" a terrific listen, and you ought to waste no time exploring all the triumphant sonic merits of it below.
