“Starvin“ by Rice

“Starvin” by Rice is an engrossing hip-hop track that blends elements of pop and soul to craft a unique sonic landscape that will have you invested from start to finish. Rice offers rhythmic rapping that gets you hooked on his vocals, and the steady, heavy beat gives the song its backbone. “Starvin” is an introspective and thought-provoking song, getting real about the hardships in life while also leaving plenty of space for hope and growth. Rice does a great job of holding conflicting emotions together, acknowledging the hard work it takes to overcome obstacles in life, but never quite complaining, because he knows the hard work will get him to a life he is satisfied with. His words can inspire all of us to cultivate our drive and strive for the lives we want.

Lines like “reputation on the line, can’t afford no loss” and “I was hungry, now I’m starvin” tells us that for Rice, achieving the life and reputation he wants is a high stakes deal. He will not be satisfied with mediocre accomplishments or a half-finished job, because he says he will “always put my all in.” This is an inspiring mindset that can be hard to cultivate. It is much easier to go with the flow and never challenge the comfort of your life for more. 

The drum beat often has satisfying changes in rhythms that offer a dynamic journey through the song, and moments where most of the arrangement drops out makes for a fun, impactful moment when everything comes back in and the energy picks up once again.
