A surprising creative choice

The first time I listened to "Black cards," I was shocked to realise that Marcus Harvey is only on backing vocals. Given his talent, I expected him to take a bigger role, but this creative choice proves just how intentional the song is. Instead of a traditional feature, Harvey's subtle yet powerful presence adds depth to the track, allowing Jay Jody's delivery to shine. Their chemistry is unmatched, and its clear they were cooking in the studio.

A sound that screams "I've made it" 

From the moment the beat drops, "Black cards" radiates "I'm on top of the world" energy. The production is top-notch, with flawless sound engineering that makes every element crisp and immersive. The bass is deep but clean, Jay Jody's vocals sit perfectly in the mix, and the layered harmonies from Marcus Harvey bring a polished, almost cinematic feel to the song. The meticulous attention to detail in the studio is undeniable, and the result is a track that hits hard but still feels smooth and effortless.

Lyrics that drip confidence

Lyrically, "Black cards" is a celebration of success, ambition, and the rewards of grinding hard. Jay Jody raps with unshakable confidence, making it clear that he's not just dreaming of success, he's living it. Every bar feels like a victory lap, capturing the essence of what it means to step into your power and enjoy the fruits of your labour. the decision to keep Marcus Harvey's vocals in the background instead of giving him a full verse adds to the elite feel, it's a flex, not a feature.
