Setting the tone with an ethereal soulful energy, Sleepy Loco opens On My Mind with progressive and referential vocal ad libs before he shares the assertive prose, “You been on my mind but the money gotta come first…”
The opus expands into a timeless, narrative-driven hip-hop vibe with a self-realized message, touching on themes of empowerment and honing in on abundance as it’s core. We appreciate the authentic depth and the charismatic flow that Sleepy Loco delivers.
The production is dynamic and immersive, and we connect with the cerebral nuance that Sleepy Loco includes in his sound design. Speaking on the message of On My Mind, Sleepy Loco confesses, “The song is Sleepy Loco talking to a woman that he just recently stole from her man.”
The artist continues with depth, “His reason for stealing her away was to get back at the man who had wronged Sleepy in the past. The woman is given a much better lifestyle and doesnt want to go back to her old life with her old man.”
As our curiosity is peaked, and we witness a star in the making in his pool party video for the song as Sleepy Loco showcases his performance chops.
We ask Sleepy Loco about his influences, to which he cites Larry June, Starlito, and 8Ball & MJG, which we understand, but it is clear that Sleepy Loco is creating a universe of his own.
We have added On My Mind to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Sleepy Loco‘s wider discography including Life Freestyle, Popcorn Playa, and Monopoly.
