Calgary-based underground rap artist Bobby Ess delivers a chilling conclusion to his Horror Stories E.P. with “Fatal,” a track that feels like a cinematic descent into a psychological thriller. As the third and final installment of the project, “Fatal” doesn’t just close a chapter; it leaves an indelible mark.
The production of “Fatal” is brooding and theatrical, with layers of ominous melodies and basslines that strike like a slow-building storm. Bobby’s verses weave a narrative as captivating as it is haunting, pulling listeners into his world of inner battles and razor-sharp introspection. The tension in his delivery feels deliberate, each word a dagger cutting through the sonic backdrop.

Bobby’s storytelling walks a tightrope of vulnerability and menace, inviting you to confront your shadows. There’s an undeniable cinematic quality here as if the track were the spine-tingling soundtrack to a climactic scene in a horror film.
