ESTEP is an independent pop/hip-hop artist from the DMV area who was born and raised in Prince Georges County. He is self-taught and writes, performs, produces and records his own music and he has grown over the years, honing his skills to be at the top of his game and his hard work is finally paying off as he comes through with tracks like “ONLYFANS” which apart from being exceptionally produced and mastered, feels no different from what you would enjoy on some radio playlist. He has awarded himself the gift of a virtuoso producer which is being a great musician and composer first and now blending all that magnificence with his wizardry skills to come up with one stupendous creation that clearly splits the lines of synthesized club hip-hop with a near quality touch of the R&B in the chorus and some sizeable elements of pop in the instrumentation!
The claps and patterns at the intro layered with the wavy percussion are soon chaperoned by the bass-heavy synths that drip with swag and authenticity as his rich vocals do the smooth-talking over the instruments that feel otherworldly; ESTEP’s songwriting embodies the tradition of the West Coast hip-hop and R&B with its smooth, intense and laid-back delivery. As a rapper and singer ESTEP’s flow resonates deep and true- his rhymes bounce with a sing-song style that bumps in clubs just as easily as they do in your car.
The catchy hook “I’m her fan, her only fan” on the chorus section gives the much needed space, depth, and flavor for a listener to join in and groove to the music which real is a great touch to make listeners feel engaged in the track. On the production front, “ONLYFANS” has those kind of infectious beats and synths that have such a perfect sway in the dance and the kind of music style on display here adapts to its audience; whether they’re just sitting in a movie theatre, at a nightclub having the time of their lives, in the vicinity of their quiet home or even on a long drive to nowhere – this is the perfect soundtrack!
True to his word the focus is really on the perception and this track will be enjoyed for so many generations to come as a result of its timeless features. “ONLYFANS” is now available for streaming everywhere.
