Your grinding mentality
Most of us go to work every day and do everything we can to make that day count for something. But sometimes we all need that extra boost of power-music to pick us up in the morning and/or throughout the afternoon when we start to feel sluggish. Boss Major Salute created what I like to call an “energy boost track” to bring us back to the routine titled “24”. I dare you to put this song on your morning alarm clock!
He’s having so much fun on this track that every listener thinks of picking up their newspaper. She has an infectious instrumental that makes the listener get up and go to work, however they arrive every day. Boss Major makes even the commute sound fun when he spits, “We ride the train, we ride the plane/ We ride the bus, the tour bus. Get it, man!/” That covers plenty of other go-getters. out there too (I’m sure he knew that when he wrote the line), whatever their respective careers!
Boss Major Salute reminds us that hard work has many monetary benefits (to put it lightly!) as he gleefully spits, “When you see me, it’s my birthday / I’ve got loads of cake!” If you don’t know what ‘cake’ is, then you desperately need a lesson in Grinding 101. We all need songs like this that let us imagine what we’ll get as a reward for our constant day. -a day of hard work, hence the title of the song “24”, the number of hours in a day. Depending on how many hours you are in that twenty four grind will determine how many times you hit rewind or repeat on this exciting track.
The sensitive side of the older boss
Boss Major Salute does it again with metaphors in their song “Never Say Never.” It’s a hopeful love track in which he reassures his partner that even if they’re not where they want to be, at least they’re not where they used to be and they should still be positive about their future. “How many times have I dried your eyes?” he spits out quickly, “Tears of a rainy sky /.” This metaphor shows how much he feels that being with her love is like being in paradise, with her representing heaven (or heavens) and her raindrops (or tears) falling from the windows of her soul.
Maybe the reason why Boss Major shows that she is upset sometimes is because she had a different type of personality compared to him. In “Never Say Never,” she paints a beautiful picture of the phenomenon of opposite attraction. How many times has that happened in our lives? She recognized him when she put the lyrics to this melodious song with the words “I was tough, she was nicer…”, and then goes on to say that even though they were somewhat different, she still supported him and the craft of he. She also points out that it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all when she raps “Even if we go our separate ways / At least I walked you half way.”
“Never Say Never” is a track for anyone who needs to feel renewed hope in their relationship, and the song is laid out over a nice upbeat instrumental with a great mix of soothing background guitars. He balances everything out nicely, without going too hard or soft on the song, which is why every Street Hip-Hop lover loves it, as well as the ladies.
Boss Major Salute loves his hometown
Lots of people forget where they came from, but Boss Major Salute reminds everyone that he definitely hasn’t in his victorious song titled “City I Was Born.” He has the characteristics of many a Brooklyn native: loyalty, honesty, and work ethic. Sometimes when we work so hard, it can seem to people at home that we are ignoring them, that we care more about money than our family and friends we came up with. This song is a good reminder to never forget your personal roots, no matter where you are from.
Boss Major once again paints a picture in our minds of what he’s rapping on this upbeat track that’s filled with meditative sounds and snares. He demonstrates that in every adventure the journey is the reward, but reaching the end triumphantly is priceless and well worth fighting to get there: “You can’t stop me, treating life like a race / When I reach the finish line.” line the sun is shining on my face/”.
It’s horrible when a person or people reach a certain level of status and then forget about home. If it weren’t for home and what it taught us (whether the lesson is negative or positive), where would we all be? How would we explain to these people (those who marvel at our success) how we came to be who we are? Boss Major Salute sums up these statements with this line at the beginning of the song: “We’re important from the fight to the coffin/ I’ve got to hold on in the town I was born in/.” It doesn’t matter how we start or what obstacles we have to jump over to get to where we want to be, as long as we don’t let our foundations be forgotten.
