Pounding, pulsating, and powerful, Nigerian American rapper and songwriter King Uche’s latest piece is a bona fide banger of uplifting hip-hop. All about perseverance, pushing through, and staying through to your goals, ‘Motivate’ has you jumping for the ceiling on a Monday morning to hustle harder. Whether it be monetary success or simply cracking a problem that’s been bearing down on you, Motivate has you feeling absolutely charged up to pursue whatever it is you’re craving to beat. Let go of the haters, both the external people talking down on you and your own inner thoughts that may be weighing you down, chase your goals.
The beat is absolutely pounding and heavy hitting but somehow still manages to be keenly smooth and melodic thereby not making it not entirely overbearing. Chase a check, stay motivated, let the money accumulate. Hustle culture exemplified, but the right kind of energy needed to push you through.
