Ride has CaliYork blending the laid-back Chicago instrumentation of early Kanye or J-Dilla with the mid-oughts rap flow of 50 Cent or Jadakiss. Further imbuing authenticity to the single are bars dropped down by Styles P. A silky-smooth vocal hook is reminiscent of Joe and early Chris Brown. This chill vibe is punctuated with a bit of the more reggae-infused patois of Buckshot. Ride goes by quickly leaving listeners clamoring for more from CaliYork. The cut is a perfect track for cold winter days and the break between semesters. Give it a play below and let us know what you think.
