Trayce Chapman – “The Winds”

Adding onto the momentum of his single, “NASA,” Trayce Chapman has dropped another hit titled “The Winds.” His newest record can also be found on his upcoming project, Contraband 3. The instrumental slightly samples Fousheé’s “Deep End” and incorporates a heavy bass. His cadence bounces from swift to melodic. 

Lyrically, Trayce Chapman reflects on the progress that, in turn, helped him to become successful. Without the help of anyone or a label, he figured out strategies that ascended his career. Also, the rapper leaves behind advice for the discouraged artist out there. 

He spits, “Time get hard, but I’m way too rad/Live right now cause I hate my past.”

Another factor that Trayce Chapman benefited from was staying optimistic. 

In the second verse, he vocally enjoys the fruits of his labor, saying, “We be eating like mob n*ggas/Got gold mind like lotto kings.” But he also lets it known that no one better switch up once they peep how well he’s doing. 

He spits, 

“See rainstorms in the forecast/ no bet about that, no cap/When the tape drop and the ball rolls, y’all better not post no stats.“

Conclusively, he’s “so wavy, I make my own waves.” 

“The Winds” is assisted by a trippy visual that finds Trayce boarding an airplane and rapping while an anonymous woman with shades accompanies him. 

Speaking more on the overall concept, he says:

“The winds of change can be harsh and unpredictable enough to draw stark comparisons to life. The weather, no matter how permanent it may seem, is no exception to this change.”
