To hear Rawchaa’s latest single project is to witness a once promising artist and producer once again come into his own. Over “Backstabbers” ft. Fedarro, the burgeoning underground creator and performer doesn’t just switch up the template from his fantastic first release, “Dark Place”, or the superb follow-up, “Life”, he completely transcends those tracks. He has picked up the catchiest elements from his previous releases, putting together a distinctive and even more ambitious melodic sound. But just as you begin to bob your head, hum the tune, and turn your brain off, Rawchaa pleasantly surprises you with candid lines, and sharp punchlines.
The Detroit producer and artist, affiliated with Native Music Group reinforces his brand of thoughtful lyricism, keen storytelling, and then adds an excellent R&B melodic twist to the proceedings, with the collaboration of a stunning and soulful Fedarro.
The featured singer clearly knows his way around an earworm hook, and absolutely kills it on “Backstabbers”. The question is, how will one of rap’s most patient wordsmiths continue his streak of top class releases?

“Backstabbers” ft. Fedarro is an intense song that moves without a hurry. Sharing excellent lyrical clarity, the artists’ confidence makes every bar sharp. Though Rawchaa takes rap back to its brilliant fundamentals, he has now added air of contemporary artistry to this track.
The melodic versatility permeating the artist’s discography has a substantial presence here. Moreover, Rawchaa muses without letting his ideas linger too long. He’s a thinker who doesn’t overthink his message.
