U.K artist Twyce just dropped a new freestyle titled "Attention," and it demands it with narrative bars and a breezy instrumental. Moreover, the South London rapper is one of many voices bubbling in the English hip-hop scene, which covers grime, drill, and beyond. However, this newest track is well within a stateside hip-hop head's wheelhouse. For example, the track's production is similar to the melodic, emotionally resonant, and wavy tracks of a lyricist like J. Cole. While it's a short track, Twyce injects a lot of passion and personal perspective in its two-minute runtime. It's yet another creative track from beyond the pond, in an age where regions no longer define genre or style.

Furthermore, the beat on "Attention" is an emotive and laid-back approach, with a slow tempo and a lot of atmosphere. For example, there are some very subtle keys that hang in the background, so lush they sound like guitar strums. However, the guitar's already the main melody, looping some soft electric chords throughout its runtime. Also, there are some beautiful saxophone lines that come in toward the midway point, contrasting nicely with the guitar. While it may not be the most dynamic or evolving backdrop, it's still layered enough to warrant repeat listens. Regardless, Twyce's bouncing flows, heartfelt narratives, and engaging wordplay and diction are the song's standout achievement. In fact, some fans might be reminded of Dave's introspection and his chilled and measured demeanor.

Still, what did you think of Twyce's latest freestyle, "Attention"? However you may feel, let us know in the comments and peep notable lines and its music video down below. Also, if you haven't heard this track yet, you can find the song on your preferred streaming service. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the best new music releases, with or without that smooth British accent.

Quotable Lyrics
She was a girl on the corner, juxtaposed while I'm on the corner, just a pose,
Opinions opposed, you're in my head naked, no clothes, first time
Seeing me, you froze, we're great together, but trust me I'm good on my own,
They give Qs, I say no when they ask me "Do you regret this fully?"
