Single Review by: Jake Faircloth
Solo Davis definitely has a summer slap on his hands with his latest beatsbyfalak produced single "HOOPT!E", but my takeaway was a bit more introspective. On the surface the song could be characterized by his unique vocal inflections and laid-back delivery over a hard-hitting a beat, but from my POV I hear someone expressing their ability to defy odds. Despite riding around in an old ‘97 Honda, Solo has found a way to attract women, make plays, get money, etc. I hear someone that feels proud of the way they’ve been able to defeat the odds.
Using a sped up sample of Nicole Croisille's 1971 song "I'll Never Leave You", the song's beat is infectious and draws you in instantly. Solo's confident and boisterous delivery perfectly matches the energetic nature of the song, making it the listeners instinct to turn the volume up a few extra notches from the moment the beat drops.

While the lyrics seem primarily about Solo flexing his rap abilities with slight references to his "HOOPT!E", it's all done in good fun and adds to the carefree vibe of the song. With a fairly extensive catalogue, "HOOPT!E" is a great addition to Solo Davis' discography and a must-listen for fans of his music or anyone looking for a catchy and upbeat rap song with perhaps a little more meaning than first meets the ear.
“HOOPT!E” is available for streaming across all Digital Streaming Platforms
