Specs Sunday; Rodeo Tony
How, how, how the fuck does JR do this.
It’s not fair. It is not fair that JR Specs can do this time after time and he has made two bangers to begin the pay period. He kicked the year off with fellow UConn musician Sutz with Ball if I want and then two weeks later gave us Rodeo Tony.
Rodeo Tony features Sutz once again who absolutely bangs along with dg.zip. He released the hit on January 15th and is moving tremendously fast on his pay period project which is reassuring to see.
The two minute and sixteen second banger gives me the meatiest Madden vibes. Like this is a song that you would hear after getting a fifty burger dropped on your head by a twelve year old online while you’re in the loading screen and would still want to bop to.
Few songs have that quality because when I get slaughtered in Madden I’m usually clutching the controller with all the strength in my body. I guess what I’m trying to say is this is my plea to the people at EA Sports and those who work on Madden to put Rodeo Tony on the Madden 2023 soundtrack.
The duo of Specs and Sutz is beginning to win me over more and more because before Ball if I want and Rodeo Tony dropped, I was staunchly in the camp of Specs and B.Aull. It’s still a great duo, but Specs and Sutz is killing it right now.
While the vibe of the song is a head bobbing, leg swaying jam, lyrically it is insane. Some may even say off the chain. I don’t know who would say that, but someone may say it.
Lines like “I told the DJ to ice me, I’m just like hockey puck, like Mighty Ducks”, “Lookin at me like you can knock me off my shit like Rodeo”, “I do not play, but I’m tryna go spit this shit cause it’s over due” elevate the song from good to great.
One small note about the song that I really enjoy is the first thirteen seconds of the song because it’s a low type of muffled beat and you can hear JR in the distance sort of “moaning” the chorus of the song and right before the beat hits’ he gives the listeners a “la, la, la”. Small things like that are what I’m a fan of.
JR is a magician with the mic and a sultan with a subwoofer. That’s why he keeps dropping hit after hit after hit. Go stream Rodeo Tony.
