King Los' "Flex" Is The Anthem For Second Chances

Baltimore's King Los enlists Jazze Pha in a unfamiliar role for his new single "Flex." Half-sung half-rapped, with the consumption of an energy drink somewhere in the middle, King Los is a major proponent of the advanced metrics of rapping. A densely packed performance "recalibrates his whole swag," from his chin hair to the issue of his feet. Jazze Phizzle adds a prerecorded word or two; King Los demonstrates that he has full command of his "instrument." Rapping is often confused as a birth given right. Rappers like King Los remind us that's it like any other craft, there's a technical argument to be made.

"Flex" very much feels like a "rebound" song. The song is both fun and contemplative. King Los casts a doubtful eye on people running in his circles, his third eye literally screams "n**** please," in the second verse. Shout out to his real ones.

Quotable Lyrics:

Used to be a fan
I used to be your friend
Used to love you back
Can't make time come back
Make too much time go past
Had to find myself
I should have went crazy
I'm back on deck
Fully ready with the flex
