Raze the Stakes (prod. by Rusty Mack)

“Raze The Stakes” is the latest banger to come from bubbling New York rapper INeedARaze, who’s going right for the throat of anyone doubting his talents on the mic. This track represents the latest in his unceasing stream of creativity this year, and it’s an impressive turn from the artist who recently has dropped more melodic mood music.   Whereas preceding singles “Right Thru U” and “Double Dutch” had hooks you could easily sing along to, “Raze The Stakes” ditches typical song structures to showcase Raze’s pure rhyming talents over frequent collaborator Rusty Mack’s gloomy instrumental. And even though we’re not entirely sure what or who inspired this flurry of sh*t-talking, we’d also like to thank them whatever the hell put that fire in his belly.   These are some of the hardest bars we’ve heard from Raze in a minute, though he never goes full aggro. Instead, we’re listening to an emcee who knows how to blend fury with funny, spitting quote-worthy bars including, “Your girl want a plumber, you a handyman (jerk off)/ I turn that sweet potato into candied yams”; and “I could eat a peach like Nicolas Cage.” If you’re unfamiliar with the latter reference, maybe you need to watch Face/Off again.   The release of “Raze The Stakes” also coincides with the announcement that the New Yorker is compiling his tracks onto a playlist, Please, that’ll be here in the next few months. But before then, you can keep this joint—and his other recent leaks, for that matter—on repeat to better acquaint yourself with this rising artist.   Give the track a spin, and head over to HYPEDDIT for the free .mp3 download. Stay tuned for more leaks off 'Please,' which is due out on August 3rd.
