Ro-Cee doesn’t sound like he belongs in today’s realm of hip-hop or popular music. The Swedish artist’s comeback, twenty years from his last work, highlights how he hasn’t dropped a moment in quality and drive. Featuring Swedish funk legend M-Rock, ‘Let Me Slide In’ combines the vibes of old-school 90s hip-hop with funk music from the times. A blend of lyrical driven rap music that’s injected with soul and funk, the swagger with which ‘let me just slide in’ is delivered sets you in a mood to groove. If you grew up on the music of the late 90s and early 00s, this song is a time capsule to cherish. Simply oozing nostalgia and the carefree joyfulness of that era’s music, Ro-Cee is using his experience as a stalwart of the genre in its heyday to revive it in a time where it seems far gone.
If you miss hip-hop that’s a bit more cheeky and fun, as opposed to the more dark and late night air that modern trap exudes, this gleefully upbeat and cheery summer bop is bound to have you grooving to every ounce of its duration.
