Drakeo The Ruler drops the song “I’m The Reason” (+Lyrics)

Drakeo The Ruler unveils the new RONRONTHEPRODUCER-produced piece of music titled “I’m The Reason.” Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track.

Drakeo The Ruler is without a doubt one of the most unique and impactful voices in contemporary West Coast hip-hop, a trait that his posthumous material still lets shine. Moreover, a new single titled “I’m The Reason” just been released, and it’s every bit as brooding, bouncy, and boisterous as you would expect. It might fit well within his established style, but the tragic end of his career means that there was so much more left in the vault to develop and expand upon. With that context in mind, tracks like these only serve to further cement his legacy today, and “I’m The Reason” does so while speaking to his idiosyncrasy as an MC.

Furthermore, the instrumental here is a solid combination of dark, minimal percussion and brighter, more atmospheric synth pads and key leads. While we’ve heard bounces like these before, it’s still welcome in a rap landscape in which Los Angeles is not one of the sonic zeitgeists. As such, Drakeo The Ruler breathes life into the style with his unique vocal delivery, a mix of whispery and menacing bars plus some nasal inflexions. In addition, the South Central rapper cycles through a few similar but nonetheless catchy flows that fit his trademark drawl like a glove. Sure, it sounds low-key at first, but once you pick up on a couple of sharp and infectious bars here, it unlocks a new layer of confidence and quality.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately all I could think about is violence
I don’t know why you even think about fighting me
If the devil wears prada it’s most likely me
If he got a million views he’s likely cheating
I’m from Los Angeles California
I make niggas wanna pull up in them foreigns
I make all these niggas baby mommas horny
You walk away from her she’s telling me “come over”

[Hook]
I made all you niggas wanna get some money
I made all you niggas go and get a foreign
I’m the reason you put diamonds in your ‘rollie
Don’t gotta like me but as long as niggas know it

I made all you niggas wanna get some money
I made all you niggas go and get a foreign
I’m the reason you put diamonds in your rollie
Don’t gotta like me but as long as niggas know it

[Verse 2]
As long as niggas know its real
VV’s hit hard as Holyfield
I brought the dawn out to show and tell
A whatsapp call I know thats careless
A C Class don’t even show that Benz
Ben Frank I don’t know your friends
We just made him do the robo dance
That’s for pullin’ up in cholo pants

[Hook]
I made all you niggas wanna get some money
I made all you niggas go and get a foreign
I’m the reason you put diamonds in your rollie
Don’t gotta like me but as long as niggas know it

I made all you niggas wanna get some money
I made all you niggas go and get a foreign
I’m the reason you put diamonds in your rollie
Don’t gotta like me but as long as niggas know it
