OBAS’s Hug The Streets is a great jam-up of hard-edged street styles with enough melody to get fans out on the dance floor. OBA’s delivery is grim and gritty, standing out bolly from the J Dilla meets Kanye production that drips off of the synths, drums, and samples. Rick Ross’s contributions to the track are immaculate as always, recalling some of his early career hits. Together, the pair is able to make a track that would be perfectly at home in the oughts. There’s a crispness to this composition that will tattoo each bar into fan’s brains.
