With over 15 years’ experience in the game, German-based producer and lyricist Aremcee has most certainly mastered the art and craft of making hit melodies, and as someone who prides himself on his versatility and good ear for sound design, it is okay to say that he has been instrumental in the shaping of a unique hip hop sound in the German scene. He is someone who has built a reputation on taking what essentially arrives at his musical desk in its raw, incoherent, and indigestible form and transforming it with attractively staged beginnings, endings, and dynamic twists in between to fashion what he feels is a complete body of work that meets his high standards.
His latest smash project “Rent Free” which was a joint collaborative effort featuring the exceptionally skilled Canadian house vocalist Mary Dee and an up-and-coming phenomenal Houston rapper RM Ray Martin is just an authentic masterpiece in eclectic hip hop music transcendence!
Aremcee displays his maestro skills by uniquely crafting and blending diverse cultures and sounds to make one bona fide standout that stays with its listener even after the track is no more. Right from the intro, the organic and lively guitar tones set the precedent in order, and in that moment of aesthesis, the melodious vocals of one Mary Dee jet right in as she goes on to perform the hooks in her smoothly honeyed and cottony vocals.
Suddenly, the tone changes altogether; there is an aura of vibrancy and ecstatic invigoration as the deeply flavored melodies are ushered right in, and they waste no time in making their mark; the booming basslines blend fashionably with the rattling synths, atmospheric drums, low 808s, snapping snares, and towering, almost classic melodies to ramp up the energy to their epic drops!
Ray Martin gets things going with his own thought-inspiring rap performance over the heavy beats, supplementing this tune honorably with his English rhymes.
The star of the night Aremcee then makes an entrance with his German-fueled rhymes and thought-provoking punchlines. He just goes on and on without stopping even for a mere second to draw his breath—while I do not understand a single German word, that’s some sick flow right there.
In this masterpiece, the uniquely eclectic styles have been seamlessly blended into one, while “Rent Free” still manages to maintain its hip-hop brand. Those harmoniously delivered hooks via sweet-talking vocals, the English rhymes, and the German bars is why you just have to live through this track like a religious experience, and when you are done, expect it to stay “Rent Free” in your head!
