“Struggle So Real” featuring T-Rock, arrives after a wave of acclaimed singles by hip hop artist AR Vazquez. The track is a robust showcase of the style, affectation and interest he has put into his music thus far. Vazquez uses a tumbling, snowball flow that throws shade in the direction of anyone as his wrath here is aimed at “the biggest struggles of American society: the pursuit of happiness through material things.” AR Vazquez also focuses on our obsession with how we are perceived by others, while T-Rock touches on the lengths we’ll go for money and the effects that come with it.
Unlike other rappers of his generation, AR Vazquez never inhabits other voices and perspectives. The effect is to make his music prolifically relatable. Embracing a turbid, bass-driven production style, and confrontational approach, that introduces a new level of emotional candor to the genre.
AR Vazquez continues to demonstrate his growth, gaining in popularity and prestige while generating the qualities that will consolidate those accolades. “Struggle So Real” is a truly intense, head nodding track, one that confronts our modern day social concerns, while further amplifying their significance.
AR Vazquez is a stylist, with a broad platform of slogans, catch phrases, and metaphors spouted over a thumping, crystalline sound bed, while T-Rock works within a micro-focused network of dense, energetic and allusive wordplay. The distilled blend of the two, delivers and explosive and exhilarating experience.
AR Vazquez also has a way with his music where you can listen to a song and get lost in the instrumental and not even pay attention to the lyrics sometimes. And then you can do it the other way around. As long as the song sounds good you continue to listen, be it music or lyrics.
There are some people that listen to AR Vazquez’s music for the sound and some that listen for the poetry and lyrics. That is why I think he will kill the game in due time. He is able to strive in both departments. AR Vazquez continues to have a very bright future ahead of him and I’m very excited to see what he cooks up in the future, in respect to the gourmet stuff he has already delivered us.
One thing is clear: the subject matter is what drives AR Vazquez’s precise lyrical execution on this single release, and it’s the production that enables him to shine along with T-Rock who does a great job as the feature.
