TaReef KnockOut – “Mr. Irrelevant”
Tallahassee rapper TaReef KnockOut honors the legacies of Brock Purdy, Ryan Succop, and Chad Kelly on his underdog anthem “Mr. Irrelevant.” KnockOut grabs this title, usually reserved for the 256th (also known as “last”) pick in the NFL draft, and describes his struggles in the life prior to his ascension in the rap game. Repo men, missed rent payments, car breakdowns – TaReef took his adversity and spilt it out over a boombap beat in a celebratory track that will fit right in on your motivational hip hop playlists alongside names like Logic, J.Cole and Wale. Production-wise, we get some reversed instrumental loops, angelic vocal samples, and a headbobbing drum pattern – hitting the mark just like Ryan Succop extra point.
