Review
"Power Up" reigns over the night with a skeletal minimalist beat and autotune used as an artistic tool to add much-needed melodic layers, and this type of production is extremely efficient as it doesn't allow for any bullshit! With a braggadocios and egocentric attitude, Cris Cain reveals himself to be a real boss. I just want to blow one, and smoke one while listening to Cain's abused epic drills that turn me into a womanizing gangsta king who has trampled all his enemies underfoot and who has an iron throne and a court of bitches to spin for years and years...
The Pigeon added the new single to his Weekly Gems playlist on Spotify. You can check out the released music below. If you like what you hear, make sure to follow along so you can stay on top of future releases!
