“Win” is the new single by Hip-Hop/R&B artist Samtrackz. The song combines a melodic singing style rapping during the chorus with a more rapid flow of raps during the verses. The lyrics describe the mentality it takes to have success and to build up yourself to be in position to “win.” He is a true rapper that allows his R&B influence to strengthen the melodies of his raps, as well as craft this song as a whole.
The beat production is creative, and contains several layers of keyboards and piano. The drum is upbeat and is build around the punch of the snare. “I just wanna win, win, win. Somebody tell me when, when when” he raps. This clever wordplay is prevalent on the track, and fits well into the production of the song. It’s catchy and has a motivational message.
During the verse he raps, “See I’m just trying to win I’m tired of taking L’s, they say if you wanna win then first you gotta fail. Based on that logic I should be out in the tropic, clear water bad chicks with bands of money in my pocket. That’s far from my reality” he raps. His perspective on success is refreshing and is able to write about this common struggle that almost anyone can relate to. Who doesn’t want to live the luxurious life?
Samtrackz is originally from Oakland, California, but now resides in Atlanta, Georgia. His goal is to bring soul and storytelling back to Hip-Hop, since those are core elements to what the genre has always been about, and he achieves that on this song. This perspective and approach allows his rapping to flourish around the beat that he selfproduced.
Samtrackz has 217 monthly listeners on Spotify, and has released five tracks on the platform. He is an artist to keep an eye on, and “Win” is a successful introduction to his music. Check out his other songs, such as the track “Coffee” or “You.”
