Cory Jreamz
“Gods”
Digital Single
Considering how influential Houston’s screwed sound has been on today’s rappers du jour, it’s ironic that one of its most promising artists consistently rhymes about how out of touch he feels with the scene. If anybody could be forgiven for piggybacking on the city’s rich history, the 19 year-old could, but his debut EP, Invictus, did nothing of the sort. Chaotic, dreamy, and emotionally direct, the six-song set announced Jreamz as one of the singular voices of modern rap. His most recent single, “Gods,” serves as a beautiful Jreamz primer, as he beautifully toes the line between real life’s cold shower and the warm bubble bath of dreams. Extra points for the Usher sample.
