iann dior, "Good Day" [Photo Credits: Internet Money / TenThousand Projects]It seems like nothing is going to keep Puerto Rican rapper Iann Dior from shining on single “Good Day” which is short but pretty sweet.

For Industry Plant Iann Dior, it’s a “Good Day.” Why? Well according to the Puerto Rican rapper and singer, “I’ma have a good day ‘cause I had a long night.” Okay… sure… In all seriousness, Dior’s first single of 2020 is short but also pretty sweet.  It won’t blow you away with great profundity or transcendence, but for under two minutes, it’s quite entertaining.

First, let’s start with the production.  Sidepce, Gibbo Beats, and Taryn Lewis stich up a nice backdrop for Iann Dior to ‘do the damn thing.’ Despite being in a minor key, it’s quite bright in sound, with the optimistic keyboards, and, of course, an exuberant, rhythmic, anchoring beat.  Beyond the instrumental, Dior brings sheer confidence, swagger, and a melodic rap approach to the table. He only gives us one verse, but, he makes sure to throw in some f-bombs (“New whip, too quick for them fuck niggas”), weed (“Roll a Backwood, take it to the face”), and of course, drip (“I left my town, pull up in a Wraith,” as well as, “I’m on my way, I love counting blue faces”). That said, there’s more than verses from Iann. Following a short intro, he offers up the pre-chorus (“Got a grip on the world, I’m okay with who I am…”) as well as the chorus, where he celebrates his ‘good day’ with some good weed.


Final Thoughts 

So, will the “Good Day” had by Iann Door change your life? Absolutely not, but you can’t help but enjoy the vibes he’s feeling and giving off.  Again, there’s no profundity or transcendence in the least here, but the carefree, youthful (and probably irresponsible) fun is definitely, well, FUN to listen to.  A two-minute bop? Methinks!
