Aryan Kapoor, an artist originally from India and now based in Dubai and LA, skillfully blends various genres with hip-hop, utilizing memorable and timeless choruses along with clever wordplay and lyrically impactful verses to craft songs that stand out with their unique sound. He consistently represents his city and community, often questioning why he shouldn’t pursue his dreams when others can. On his latest single, “Give It To Ya!”, he explores a fun, uptempo hip-hop sound that left me impressed. Keep reading for my thoughts!
As hip-hop has evolved over the years, smart use of samples and beat-mixing has become a more and more important part, particularly done well on this song, with the production assisting to make it an energy-filled track, as Aryan’s mid-tempo to fast rhymes embrace a sung, almost West Coast vibe, while still maintaining enough complexity in the rhyming schemes to keep a more technical listener like me entertained throughout. There is also smart use of adlibs and the chorus is catchy and has a very singable (is that a word?) quality to it, which made sure the song got stuck in my head for hours after the fact.

The mixing and mastering on this track add the polish it deserves to have, with smart use of space and contrast between the main elements and the auxiliary elements like the reverbs, the delays, and so on. There is a wide and expansive soundstage, with just enough focus being given to the centre to still firmly remind the listener where to pay attention to, and overall, there is good power and drive in the mix, which I quite loved.
