EST Gee exudes a subtle charm. The rapper possesses a captivating stage presence, often relying on unconventional rap techniques such as over-the-top deliveries or unorthodox flows. He’s always keeping a low profile, and his music is mellow, yet has a menacing undertone. A song by “The Streets” showcases the coexistence of these two dynamics within a single track. EST Gee’s most recent release is a lean street anthem which features the rapper discovering a catchy rhythm and sustaining it throughout an organ-driven track.
The instrumental has a distinct Southern flair to it. The organ takes a prominent role in anchoring the drums, then moves to the forefront during the chorus. The track has a sound similar to an instrumental that artists like Young Jeezy or T.I. would have collaborated on around two decades ago, but with a contemporary twist. EST Gee showcases a sleek yet fatigued flow style that T.I.P. and the Snowman had achieved during their peak years. EST Gee’s conviction is what brings authenticity to the lyrics, which are fairly typical and align with the song’s title, ultimately delivering a compelling performance. You take him at his word when he swears. I was hanging out and partying with the same guys I was buying bricks from. Gee has secured another victory with “The Streets”.
