Drawing us in with an intimate piano performance and astral ad libs with an almost folk-adjacency, MalinMakesAMess opens her reimagining of Eminem‘s Rap God with intrigue before singing, “I’m beginning to feel like a Rap God, Rap God, all my people from the front to the back nod, the way I’m racing around the track, call me NASCAR, NASCAR…”

The opus expands with a vibe that feels like early Lana Del Rey unreleased songs with textured drums as MalinMakesAMess breaks into a high octane and empowering flow that selects certain bars from the original. Laced with poetic prowess and an assertive ferocity, we are mesmerised by the star’s cadence and delivery.

For some background, Rap God by Eminem is a showcase of his unparalleled lyrical skills and technical prowess as a rapper. The fact that MalinMakesAMess has covered this with such precision and emotional depth has blows us away!

The prose serves as a declaration of his dominance in the rap game, and MalinMakesAMess echoes this. She could really be the next Iggy Azalea at this rate! It’s a song where he flaunts his speed, complex rhyme schemes, and ability to manipulate language, positioning himself as a Rap God, and needless to say, MalinMakesAMess is proving herself as a Rap God too!

MalinMakesAMess confesses, “I wanted to pay tribute to its genius while throwing in my own chaotic twist. This is for anyone who lives for the rhythm and the rhyme.” The artist is pretty elusive online, her images are AI, which certainly invites curiosity and speculation about her human avatar!

Either way, we are in awe, and have added MalinMakesAMess‘s cover of Rap God to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst stream her latest release, I’m a mess but it’s fine!
