Face Down

In the past, Zeus The Plug has never stuck within the established lines of Chicago's rap scene, and "Face Down" follows suit. The minimal record begins with sedated, drug-addled R&B-rap not far off from Nav's recent project, but later introduces some brighter synth sounds that give it a more uplifting atmosphere. The result is an unconventional party record that's nonetheless effective. It's not the first time he's pulled off such a mood, with "Counting On It" taking a more subdued approach to "Back That Azz Up"-esque bounce.

Listen to Zeus' "The Weekend," a collaboration with Ramriddlz from last February, here.

Quotable Lyrics:
She says she want me do the whole line
I see we're at the end of the race now
I feel like we been drinking all night
Maybe we should slow down the pace now
