The Unusuals’ talent transcends the hip-hop and rap music they create; they embody a sound that’s unheard of yet warmly familiar. They tap into nostalgia yet remain relevant—a feat not many emcees can pride themselves on. And beneath that grounded approach is a stylistically flexible personality that melds with the ever-evolving music industry. They simply refuse to conform to the usual cookie-cutter arrangement that many rap artists seem to be stuck in. And that does not mean that they lose their originality…no, it simply means they adapt, learn, and still maintain a consistent brand, and that’s why they have remained relevant all these years. As they put it, they might actually be better than your favorite rapper!
Their latest jam, dubbed “Sweet Potatoes” is a blend of soulful and unconventional soundscapes whose depth of lyricism has been attractively complemented by the dexterous execution of the music.
Tapping into quintessential old-school production with a mellow, yet powerful beat that wraps around the lyrics like a warm embrace, The Unusuals transport you to another dimension with their lyrical prowess and matchless cadence.
The authenticity of this track is truly magnificent, and the guest vocalist, Wordsworth does enchanting things with that hook that will stay with you long after the song ends, adding such depth and elegance to a tune worthy of the billboard charts.
Between the hooks, Xperince and Ninjaface face off like boxers in a round, albeit with each round ending in a deserved draw.
No cap, “Sweet Potatoes” is really sweet and such a relatable exploration of the things that make us human—the covet of others for their worldly possessions or otherwise which we perceive to be more than they maybe deserve and the tendency to disregard what we already have. As I said, it’s a human thing. This track is all that and a timely reminder for us to return to the simple, joyous things that make our hearts full and our souls gratified.
“Sweet Potatoes” is now streaming on all major platforms globally, and it’d be such a shame for you not to have it as part of your playlist after just one listen because that’s all it takes for you to fall in love!
