Monikker Music’s weekly fresh picks:
Frank Ocean - “Biking” feat. Jay Z & Tyler, the Creator
Ocean seems to be teasing an upcoming album. His new single release features Jay-Z rapping in the intro and the first verse before Ocean sings. The piano part underneath Jay-Z’s rap paints a whimsical picture before Ocean sings with guitar. The song mostly is about the cycle of life, and Ocean contemplating life as he wraps up the decade of his twenties. He sings, “God gave you what you could handle/Gave you what you could handle/I got the grip like the handle/And I’m bikin.” Tyler, the Creator lays down more raps towards the end and fits the mood of the song well.
