It’s a celebration on Fluent’s new banger, “Rain,” the high-energy lead single off the L.A. rapper’s highly anticipated upcoming album, Carolinafornia Nightmare.
The Twanbeatmaker-produced track also serves as a reminder to where Fluent originally hails from. Although he has roots in both North Carolina and California—hence the project’s title blending both states—he spent many of his younger years in Cincinnati, Ohio. As such, it’s only fitting that one of that city’s rising rappers, Lantana, makes a standout guest appearance on “Rain.”
The burgeoning artist, who won the 2016 Ohio Hip-Hop Award for Mixtape Of the Year, is a melodic complement to his host when he appears halfway through the track. Where Fluent proves his ability to rap on any beat that comes his way, Lantana uses vocal effects amidst a cadence-flipping delivery. On here, he deftly bounces atop the upbeat instrumental while chucking the deuces at anyone not worth his time.
“Rain” can now be streamed, and is available as the first instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for Carolinafornia Nightmare. The 12 track LP which boasts features and production from the likes of Colby O’Donis, Blu, Yung LA, J. Cardim, D.R.U.G.S., and of course Lantana, drops Nov. 11 through Fluent’s Supreme Regime imprint, via EMPIRE Distribution.
