“Take A Drive is for anyone who feels frustrated, confused on what to do in life and just needs to get out in hopes of getting some clarity on how to move forward”
Crooning over a journeyed beat,, Slick strikes the perfect balance of sophisticated cadence and recite-worthy hooks resulting in a cleverly complex track in wonderfully simple clothing. As Slick continues to interlink classic, evergreen styles with pleasing, unexpected flips, his signature unruffled and unhurried flow is one that resonates with every hip hop and r&b lover.

Coupled with his stoic, efficient rap style and winking wit, this is an artist born out of pure organic growth.
