Tony Keyz is a lyrist and multifaceted artist coming from Syracuse in New York. He is a multitalented young prodigy who despite rapping also plays multiple instruments and the pedal steel guitar is where his virtuosity shines best. He is a unique artist and doesn’t just make music for the sake of it. He brings real rap music as we remember it where there was so much detail and meaning behind the lyrics and that is the same case in his new rap anthem, “Take Long”.
This tune will endear itself from the onset with all the instrumentation that has been stupendously produced flawlessly gliding with rhythm and melody. The guitar, some atmospheric synths, and some bass embellished sparkling beats meld together with some quintessential hip-hop drums and other complex percussions spectacularly to create a timeless masterpiece.
There is a way he is able to just fit in with his slightly auto-tuned vocals as he rap sings in a west-side-inspired demeanor and makes an anthem off of this special melody. His voice slinks through with raw emotions and you really have to listen carefully so as to decipher the meaning behind his lyrics lest you think this is a tune about a woman!
Artists nowadays don’t really make songs like these and it is commendable to see artists like Tony Keyz taking on the mantle and bringing back some cultural tunes with deep and relatable messages back to the fold. He deserves his flowers for that!
This tune is a timely reminder that you should never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face and if you get lost in the way just remember that loss is a lovely place to find yourself. You always have to hold yourself accountable no matter what.
