The intoxicating smell of Benjamins wafts through the air, and Kache Monet’s “Racks” is the scent that has me entranced. This song has the bravado of a newly minted winner and not even a semblance of haughtiness. Like sipping a cold drink on a sweltering summer day, refreshing, rejuvenating, and leaves you thinking you can take over anything.
The wordplay in Kache Monet’s verse is as smooth as a great chef making an incredible gumbo served up with a side of unbelievable confidence. Tony Tig‘s verse adds a welcome dash of delight to the track, that perfect hint of cayenne pepper needed to make everything pop. Rather like old friends telling stories about hard work, it shows the beauty of collaboration.
Besides the bravado, “Racks” is a human record of desire to be successful, to be financially free, and to find daily motivation. It’s a motivational speech in musical form-no cliché affirmations included. What Kache Monet has to say is rather simple: perseverance and determination might get you to where you want to be, but it’s the guts to take that leap of faith that’ll make you different. It’s a message of music, like the hum of a well-oiled machine.
Listening to “Racks” brings to mind the American dream: the story of the self-made millionaire-the Horatio Alger story that has been told again and again. But Kache Monet’s take on it’s different; it’s a mature look into the nuances of success-the battle between ambition and doubt. The track “Racks” is captivating because it is one of those empowering songs, even if the world seems to have its other plans.
