Review: Alpha Ojini – CalmDown (Feat. GoodGirl LA)
3:43
A wavy hip-hop record.

The song started with a bunch of string sounds playing monotonous minor melodies. Alpha made a wavy afrobeat that had a smooth hip-hop vibe. Alpha delivered a laid back verse on the first and second. He rapped about how he was the joke of the day when he was broke. His delivery and flow were cool.
The song was boring, to be honest. There was no climactic point or something that could drive the song further than the level it was. The melodies were uninteresting and didn't captivate me enough. The distinctive energy difference of the vocals and delivery GoodGirl LA and Alpha Ojini didn't do the song any good. Alpha Ojini was too calm for the energy GoodGirl LA brought. The song needed that energy on the verse because of the plot of the song.
Soundstroke recommends this song for everyone feeling worthless and unimportant to life. It might just wake you up.
