Chris Rivers has been dropping off new music on the regular for his "Barzday Wednesday" series. Every Wednesday, he comes through with a new song where he tackles some of the hottest beats in hip hop. Last week, he went in over J. Cole's "Love Yourz" and has previously tackled beats from Tyler, The Creator, Lupe Fiasco and Rich The Kid. For his latest entry for his weekly series, the rapper takes on Big Sean's "Living Single."

Chris Rivers returns with his latest effort, "Birds," over Big Sean's "Living Single." Much like last week's, "Love Yourself," the rapper delivers a smooth, introspective song. Rivers tackles the lead up and aftermath of a bad break up from a first person perspective. He's also been adding a bit more melodies to his music lately. He's undoubtedly a talented emcee but he's also proving to be a well-rounded artist as well.

Quotable Lyrics
Livin' in this bubble, dealin' with the struggle
Of illusions and confusions and assumin'and abusin'
Our well-being well, being next to you is like hell
Without the demons and it's worth it and we're burnin' and we're hurtin
