A buzz track for Gerald Walker’s upcoming mixtape, The Other Half of Letting Go, “Recluse” shows a mixture of new school and old school elements, a rising trend amongst many newcomers like, most recently, Kendrick Lamar. While it will not be featured on the tape, many believe it will be hard for Walker to top what the track has to offer. The track seems to appeal to a larger population due, for one, to its soft, ’90s pop  piano sound (old school) which mixes perfectly with a heavy bass-line (new school) that has been so common in recent years, mostly in southern trap music. Secondly, because his flow and lyrical content extend past the “money, cars, and hoes” braggadocio that we have become so accustomed to with younger rappers, he grabs a larger audience; but he still keeps close enough to the mainstream, especially when he does his best Drake impression with a mix between spitting and singing. The track is crazy. Check it out.
