Drawing us in with astral synth arpeggios and a dimensional bass with textured high hats, Rongoworks opens South Side Livin’ Prince Ice Spin’n with an ad lib tag of the artist’s moniker, followed by an affirmative hook featuring variations of the title of track, in essence confirming that living on the South Side is indeed a blessed reality.
Naturally, those who live on the South Side love it for the location’s strong sense of community, culture, and deep local pride. This is a key message that manifests in South Side Livin’ Prince Ice Spin’n.
The opus expands with an empowering and inspiring prose, based around the artist’s history and come-up. The track is filled with assertive hooks, captivating with repeated notions cemented into our heads. “From the streets to the stage ain’t that far…” raps Rongoworks, and with reference to the message of the song, the talented creator comments, “This is an anthem for grind mode and relentless ambition.”
The sonic switch ups with the beat are masterful and we appreciate the drama laced optimism and the iconic instrumental outro which is sublime. All in all the production is crisp and dynamic, masterminded by Rongoworks himself – also known as Ronald Pierre.
The creative genius brings his DJ and radio expertise to the forefront and uses his Flip The Track concept to produce multiple versions of each song for dynamic mixing. His sound blends classic Southern hip-hop, luxury rap, and deep trap, and has a cinematic allure making the track perfect for movie synch deals.
Born in Nassau, Bahamas, with Haitian and Japanese heritage, and raised in Brooklyn, Rongoworks‘ music reflects his resilience, cultural pride, and a drive to create a lasting legacy. Naturally, we will be adding South Side Livin’ Prince Ice Spin’n to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist as soon as it is released, in the meantime we continue to explore the star’s growing discography, including his sophomore single, Hoop, and debut single, Organize Noize.
