Hip-hop, as I have continued to say, represents the echelon of music where there is a lot of experimentation that takes place, and “Lang” by Rammel Wayne is no different. This 10-piece album represents experiments in trap-infused hip-hop, and stretches the envelope all the way to tropical beats and lyrical flows that present an interesting proposition. Here are my thoughts!
As a whole, the album’s tone is set by the first song, the intuitively named “Intro”. The beat settles well into a backbeat trap-infused style of hip-hop, with the straight-4 flow on top of the percussion making for some nice syncopation between the lyrics and the drums in the background. This is doubled down upon by the double-tracked vocal layers that add a level of dimensionality to the vocal performances here.

As we progress to the other songs on the album, with “Level”, a significantly more upbeat number, still staying on the backbeat style, further carries forward the themes on “Lang”. We’re treated to a flow change and style switch-up on the halfway point of the album, “Forget About Him”, a grander, older-school style hip-hop number that has bounce and flow from the very start of the song to the very end.

Some other special mentions from this album include “Free Me”, as well as the closer to the album, “Candy Reifer”, with their flows and production standing out as aspects on this album to look out for.
The production is diverse, and varied, with elements of trap, reggaeton, as well as general electronic music making their way into the mix, keeping things moving rather interestingly. The mixing and mastering are also of note on this album, with the power dynamic being very well taken care of, and the soundstage is expansive, yet retains great concentration on the points that really matter.
Overall, “Lang” by Rammel Wayne presents a bouquet of experimentation, wrapped up in an album for your listening pleasure. Check out the album here!
