Chicago Rapper 10k Kobee Drops New Single “Without My Tool”
Fast-rising US rapper 10k Kobee has dropped his latest single, “Without My Tool”. Hailing from Chicago, 10k Kobee has been going from strength to strength since bursting on the scene a couple of years ago. Previous release “Vlone” was streamed over a million times, and the independent rapper looks set to have his biggest release yet with “Without My Tool”, which has already begun generating huge buzz and reactions online. The track arrives alongside an equally impressive music video produced by No More Heroes.
Influenced by the likes of Eminem and Busta Rhymes, 10k Kobee immediately stands out on “Without My Tool” with his ability to switch flows and with his animated delivery – both on the track and during the music video. Enhanced further with its catchy lyrics and a gritty beat full of heavy bass and bouncing 808s produced by ProdByTr4nce, “Without My Tool” has all the makings of a bona fide hit. Speaking further on the release, 10k Kobee says, “I feel like me being solo on this track leaves room for nothing but great opportunities! With this sound and style of music I chose, I was focused on entertaining and being fun, lyrically amusing and 100% relatable to people all over the world.
“The artistic visual I put together is basically acting out real-life situations in the most comical way. And when I said: ‘I got a baby it go wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! That s**t push me to go harder watch I make it that’s the plan!’ I was not capping! Now that I have a baby boy and a family to take care of, it leaves me to be persevering and industrious, so I will not stop until I reach my intended goal.”
When he’s not behind the mic, 10k Kobee is also busy with his acting endeavours, and he currently has a leading role in popular web series 2 Brothers: A Chicago Lifestyle. With mounting success as both a rapper and actor, it’s clear 10k Kobee is one to watch out for, and he’s still only really just getting started. “Without My Tool” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://fanlink.to/withoutmytool.
A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
