Lil Tecca, "Never Left" [๐Ÿ“ท: Republic]Rapper Lil Tecca comes in incredibly confident, entertaining, and enjoyable on his brief but successful single, โ€œNever Left.โ€

โ€œKnow itโ€™s gonโ€™ be easy to me (To me), I got a bankroll (Bankroll) / Shooters doing what I say so (Say so), โ€˜cause they on payroll (Payroll)โ€ฆโ€ Woo! So far, 2021 has been pretty busy for ๐ŸŽ™ Lil Tecca.ย  Before releasing the single at hand, ๐ŸŽต โ€œNever Leftโ€, heโ€™s either appeared or released a couple other singles including โ€œJetskiโ€ (attributed to Internet Money) and โ€œShow Me Upโ€.ย  On โ€œNever Left,โ€ as aforementioned, Tecca delivers a rad chorus early on, which continues as follows: โ€œI got all purple on my shoes, I look like Saints Row (Yeah, yeah) / If I let you take my flick, you better catch my angles.โ€ Again, I say, WOO! Besides the chorus, thereโ€™s other things to heart about โ€œNever Left.โ€

Lil Tecca gives a well-rounded, melodic rap performance throughout the course of โ€œNever Left.โ€ ย With his approach, his performance is simultaneously warm and assertive. His flow is compelling, energetic, and rhythmic. ย He may not serve up anything brand-new or groundbreaking with his rhymes, but what he serves up is enjoyable and fits the record perfectly. Heโ€™s confident AF and yeah โ€“ heโ€™s back baby, LIKE HE NEVER LEFT! Another thing working in the rapperโ€™s favor is the production, which contributes to the warmth of his own sound.ย  ๐ŸŽ› Taz Taylor, ๐ŸŽ› Cxdy, and ๐ŸŽ› Thankyouwill stitch up a colorful canvas for Tecca to paint upon.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

Honestly, thereโ€™s not much to say about โ€œNever Left.โ€ Itโ€™s a solid, relatively brief and confident melodic rap record.ย  It doesnโ€™t change the face of the rap game, let alone the world, but Lil Tecca definitely puts in work.ย  Great flow, great personality, and lovely production make โ€œNever Leftโ€ a V-I-B-E.
