MC Jimmieee's "Come On" takes advantage of the evergreen appeal of an old-school sound while introducing a new rap presence to the beat. It's a simple meeting of old school hip-hop flavor and a more recent vocal approach, resulting in a song that's grounded in where rap has been but with its own modern energy.
What makes "Come On" interesting right from the jump is the contrast between its old-school roots and new delivery. But the track doesn't overthink the formula, letting the beat and rap performance play nicely together. There's a refreshing quality in that simplicity. It gives the music some breathing space without losing the rhythm and character of the performance.
The old school flavor makes the track feel familiar, but the new rap stops it from feeling dated. That mix makes "Come On" sound like a bridge between eras, with familiar hip-hop sensibilities in a presentation that feels of the moment. There is a casual directness to the concept of the track as well. The title "Come On" tells you all you need to know about what it is musically. What appeals to me is the energy the rapper gets from meeting the beat and letting that interaction carry the record.
