Gaptoothv4mp: “Charge You Up!”
Hailing from Ypsilanti, Michigan (known to me as the hometown of BabyTron), Gaptoothv4mp has a SoundCloud page that could brighten your worst day. Every line in her bubbly, warehouse-rave rap feels like it should be followed by a double pink heart emoji, even when she’s a little lovelorn, like on personal favorite “Fairytale Boy.” Her latest single “Charge You Up!” is just as good: a hyper, clubby dance song with sped-up vocals and lyrics that suggest she’s bored at home and dying to go explore the world. “Feel like I’m trapped in a cage, so I just go around it,” she hiccups. It would be melancholic if it didn’t sound like the audio equivalent of an Aliyah’s Interlude outfit.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
