With a concept open as “Hope,” the song better stand tall. In the case of Eddy B’s latest single, the North Carolina MC lays down some reality raps to deliver a strong single about manning up, instead of banking on things out of your reach. Speaking from a broad perspective as well as a personal POV, Tim Gunter’s former partner in rhyme laces some bouncing key chords, tight drums and a well-cut vocal sample to deliver a touching track that stands out amidst the repetition.
