‘Lil Billy – Special’ is a smooth, flirtatious, sultry rap song that knows exactly how to make her feel special.
The track opens on the front foot with no time to waste. Whistling effects, a slow, gyrating, booming bassline, steady beats, and subtle strings set a romantic mood for Lil Billy’s vocal flow to unfold. His flow is effortlessly confident and caring. Yes, he intends to get intimate, but there’s also an element of emotional bonding that he seeks. Think of T-Pain’s early melodic, seductive rap tracks. It’s an assuring, relaxing, seductive sound for the first section, up to the minute mark.
The introduction of Griptite in the following verse takes the track up a few notches in rhythm and tempo. His lyrical flow is rapid and more aggressive. Yet, he maintains the same caring tone of voice. He wants to make her feel special, irrespective of her story or background. The switch-up between Billy and Griptite is impressive and in sync. The track moves forward at a confident tempo and pace. We return to the initial verses but with more passion and intensity. The use of vocal effects add a hypnotic dimension. This is a track for dim lights and close encounters.
‘Special’ is the first track from Lil Billy’s latest album, ‘Love Skills,’. As such, it shows the artist’s range in creating more melodic, groove-immersive rap tracks that have a sensitive side. Lil Billy taps into his lover side to create a track that would be perfect for intimate evenings with your special one.
