Coming For The Next Spot

Cities Aviv “Coastin'”

Cities Aviv’s verses here are mostly about his ambitions and desire to stand apart from other rappers, the chorus is about wanting to get to a level of success that doesn’t require him to work quite as hard. It’s something he hopes to achieve by the age of 25, but the melodramatic movie score strings signals a retirement much further along on the timeline. The mood of this track is incredible – from the very first time I heard it, I felt like I was instantly transported to this wistful, romantic, cinematic place. It works every time, though sometimes it feels more melancholy, and other times more tranquil.
