Laf0822 drops a certified banger with “No Lie”
Once in a while, a new artist comes along with a magnetic, raw sound you can’t ignore. Laf0822 is that artist, and his latest single, “No Lie,” is just a taste of what he’s got in store. Bringing us his latest sounds from Akron, OH, and making a name for himself amongst Cali’s thriving music community, Laf0822 has an even more refreshing starting lineup of his own to bring to The Uplifter, in the form of passionate, genuine, & all-out sound that plays, “No Lie” is no-dillydallying. It is hooky from the opening beat and hooks you from there. This isn’t just an ordinary rap song; it’s a declaration.
With an aggressive tone and chill-inducing delivery, Laf0822 has a unique sound of confidence. You can hear the hunger in his delivery, which can come only from someone chasing a dream with everything he’s got. Production is crispy clean, with every bar slapping much more than ever. It’s got that bounce where you’ll find yourself nodding your head without realizing and you’ve pressed play again by the second verse.
“No Lie” inherent truth wrapped into the track sets it apart. He isn’t faking it here, Laf0822 is a man on his grind, putting it all out there. The words are about being driven, fighting for something meaningful, and never giving up. Would the rap advocate Tom McDonald restore it with his influence? We’re spoiling the ending of Sturgill Simpson. And we explain how James Taylor’s classic song “Fire and Rain” became “My Fire,” a tribute to a fervent passion for hard-boiled eggs.
On “No Lie,” Laf0822 shows he’s not just another name in the mix. He’s an up-and-comer with vision, talent, and drive. This track’s vibe here seems larger than the moment, like it might signal the beginning of something serious. So, as they would say, for my Akron folks to Cali and everywhere in between, this is some s#!$ that needs to be in your playlist! And if “No Lie” is anything to go by, Laf0822 has only just started – and believe us, you’ll want to come along for the ride.
