Pflames "High Anxiety"

I saw a meme the other day that read "You know who's going through a lot right now? ...Literally everyone, so be kind." And while I'm not one to give into social-media wisdom, it seems as though in the one case, at least, we ought to pay heed. So, it's no surprise that I caught wind of Rap/Hip-Hop artist Pflames's new track titled "High Anxiety." 

Lyrically, he captures the general mood of our society, right from the getgo where he confesses to "teeter-tottering on the edge." He then goes on to discuss subjects such as therapy and the death of his mother in a way that flows like a stream of consciousness. The beat has a funky quality complete with slap-bass, electric piano, and snappy snares, all of which appeals to my Gen-X ears. 

Overall Pflames is deep - his lyrics are thoughtful and the beat is super catchy with a lot of attention to detail. For fans of Baba, Living Legends, Del, or Prince Paul, I would give this track a hearty endorsement.
