The song titled Beautiful has been ruling the airwaves since it came out a few hours ago and to be honest, we are also feeling it. Like really!
As you can tell already, or maybe you can not but this track is about a certain lady who is giving the legendary rapper many sleepless nights because she’s so fine.
I really love this jam. I’ve listened to it a couple of times since it was released and every time I hit the play button it is like I’m hearing it for the first time because it sounds very pleasant to the ears.
If you like Swahili rap, like myself, then I’m sure that this will be a good treat because Chidi Benz came through with a mad flow that will make you hit the replay button a couple of times.
He also has some dope punchlines. The other thing that makes Beautiful outstanding is his unique voice and the fact that the song is well-arranged.
To be honest, this jam made me miss the days when Chidi Benz was still Chidi Benz, when people would listen to him religiously like he was the Messiah. That was long before he battled drug addiction and had to take a break.
The beat is also dope because it’s very subtle thus allowing you to appreciate the lyrical prowess of the rapper. To add to that, its tempo blends well with the Chidi Benz’ flow, vibe and tempo.
I totally love the video. Although the concept was quite simple, the execution is brilliant. The lighting, styling, props, locations and lighting are on point.
Watch Beautiful below and tells what you think.
