We've been waiting on new Derin Falana since the top of the year. He heated things up in 2017 with the amount of music he dropped including his project These Days: Audio Journal. However, it's been a few months since we heard from him. The last joint he dropped off was "Let Me Talk My Shit." Today, he comes through with his new single "The Change Up" for an HNHH premiere.
Derin Falana returns with his new joint "The Change Up." The rapper links up with producer Lucidox who delivers an ominous banger for Falana to go off on. Falana balance of rapping and melodies on this track is put on full display. His flow switches up throughout the whole track and ends the track on a melodic tip that concludes the record on the right now.
Keep your eyes peeled from more music from Falana this year.
Quotable Lyrics
How I know you need to hang it up and I ain't never had a job in retail
Where I'm at you couldn't touch, even if you read braille
Stay the same, I had to change up, thick skin and cold blooded
Bowl of rice when the phone flooded, though I hardly ever see most of it
