One standout track from the project is “Forever Imphamus.”
“Forever Imphamus” supplies listeners with that old-school sound and condense bars. from the start, he passes along words of advice, saying,
“Life is what you make it/Anything you want you gotta take it/Real OGs never fake it.”
Afterward, he drops rhymes about his notoriety in the hip-hop game.
“I been rhyming so long/It’s like I breathe through mics.“
Subsequently, he addresses the music industry’s current state, exposing record labels for focusing more on what’s trending instead of true talent.
He raps, “Cause they sign artist regardless if they not the hardest/So much time it took up/tryna get their bars and hooks up.”
As the song continues, he calls out those who told him he needed to switch up his sound, along with individuals who hopped on the bandwagon. Da Inphamuz Amadeuz declares that he’s not changing who he is or how he approaches a beat for no one. Just because hip-hop has taken on a saturated sound doesn’t mean he’s going to follow along. Like he spits in the following line, “my dynasty had the blueprint like Jay-Z.”
He spits, “I ain’t new to this/Approach tracks with ruthlessness/I’ll leave you crossed like a crucifix.”
Before the song ends, he assures haters that he’s got friends who will ride for him. Also, Da Inphamus Amadeuz can fend for himself. He tells them to bring it on!
“It ain’t sweet/bring your fleet/I got millions of peeps/That shoot up ya jeep and leave ya brains laying on the street.”
