Song Review: Crown - Diplo

The song I have chosen to review today is called Crown by Diplo. In this song, they feature three other artists; RiFF RAFF, Boaz van de Beatz and Mike Posner. RiFF RAFF is an artist who has recently been introduced to the world of rap or hip-hop. In this song, Riff RAFF is more of the "lesser known" artists in the song. Unlike RiFF RAFF, Mike Posner (artist of "cooler than me") does the vocals in the song, with RiFF RAFF doing the smaller rap verses. And the original beat, tempo, sound, and flow of the song was created by Boaz van de Beatz. Like many others, Boaz in more of an unknown artist.

The song has an uplifting beat to it. It has main verse or chorus that says "Imma be the king soon..... I can't wait to be king!" Obviously there aren't many kings left, the song is very figurative. Most songs use metaphors as a way to send a message so that the people who hear it can make their own connections. This effect is used to sell more songs, sometimes when the song is vague, it can sell better because people connect in their own way. Although there are many songs like this, many people have never heard this kind of music, much less heard of the genre.
