Stan Smith delivered more reasons to audit New York’s hip-hop resurgence with brilliant new song
Stann Smith is this generation’s realist, armed with a brilliant arsenal of wordplay. His latest single, “Win“, is a welcome, loquacious lyrical remedy over an equally compatible beat, bringing home a mouth-watering melody for hip-hop.
“Win”: Review and Verdict
The Brooklyn rapper is part of an elite line of lyricists whose motif is clear: a passion for burning mics and riding beats with a proprietary drive to own everything he touches. Beyond marking his territory with wordplay sharp enough to scalp a crew of skilled spitters, his casual yet calculated ambition serves as a masterclass in flow. Too often, rappers forget that hip-hop is more than the sum of its commercial position, and on “Win”, Stann Smith understands this well.
