Austin, Texas rapper Ajoshd has just dropped the music video for his new single “Ballin’ Outta Control” that we’ll be reviewing in today’s article. This track is a strong, cohesive piece built for the perfect late-night listening sessions. Ajoshd channels a Texas-heavy flow through the verses that feels authentic to the style, while the melodic crooning in the chorus creates a satisfying contrast. Lyrically, the song balances a catchy, radio-friendly hook with verses that thoughtfully explore themes of coming up from nothing and embracing a flashier lifestyle. His songwriting gets layered further by him weaving in a subtle romantic storyline that adds to the central “balling” metaphor. Vocally, his delivery sounds natural and smooth. You will also hear smart use of vocal layering reserved for the chorus and a deep DJ Screw-esque vocal tone that reinforces the nocturnal TX atmosphere. Production-wise, the elegant piano intro, sub-heavy 808s, and airy mix give the song a moody cinematic quality that leaves plenty of room for his vocals to shine. In conclusion, “Ballin’ Outta Control” is even more proof of the potential Ajoshd has to dominate the South.
