— Kenzie Tarantino switches up his delivery and shows that he can do it all in his first single of 2021, “Neck Frost”.
As one of Atlanta’s most talented underground lyricists, Kenzie Tarantino could easily wear the crown of the most consistent as well. Following his late 2019 album, Summertime Outside the Temple, and a nice run of 2020 singles despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Kenzie is starting off 2021 with a new banger titled “Neck Frost”.
Upon first listen, it’s pretty clear that “Neck Frost” serves as a slight departure from Kenzie’s usual sound. Thus far, Kenzie Tarantino has been an absolute monster when rapping over “boom bap” production — shown in even just his 2020 singles, “New Toys”, “Roof Missin’”, and “G Unit Sneakers”. “Neck Frost”, on the other hand, has the potential to be a hit radio single that makes its rounds through your favorite nightlife locations.
Still, even with a more universally digestible sound, the production (courtesy of WlvsJules) is in no way generic. The beat is entrancing to say the very least thanks to an assortment of melodies and effects that feel both nostalgic and futuristic. Furthermore, Kenzie never disappoints when it comes to lyricism, club banger or not. That being said, “Neck Frost” is capable of engaging just about every type of Hip-Hop fan in a unique way.
