Ever since Transparent released his single “One Way (Turn Up)” last year, which was featured on ESPN’s SportsCenter, you can be sure that many more people have been made aware of this Bay Area representative. From the top-notch verse on Tedashii’s Below Paradise album to the recent Kingdom Choice Awards nomination, newcomers to Transparent’s music are anxious to learn more about him and what he stands for. That’s exactly what the self-proclaimed “California Bear” rhymes about on his new follow-up single “Str8 Like That.” The song features rising artist ADA-L and is produced by super producer Black Knight.
Over the song’s “New” California laid-back beat, Transparent brings the listener into his world and mindset in a very “matter of fact” way, especially with the repetition of the title throughout the hook.
Quotable Lyrics:
Not Nipsey but I H.U.S.T.L.E.
Hurry Up Save The Lost Everywhere on the double
And if you caught it, then you get what the mission be
He commissioned me, so you know I’m ’bout that life when they mention me
