2016 was an absolutely titanic year in the microcosm of music culture that is trap, with timeless smash hits being forged left and right. One such banger plucked straight from the cream of the crop is ‘Tiger Blood’ a masterful collaboration between Graves and Myrne, which to this day has amassed over two and a half million streams on SoundCloud alone.
Easily my favorite track from either artist, ‘Tiger Blood’ rides that tightrope of future bass and trap, incorporating the best elements of both to form a song that is incredibly fun to dance to but is also a symphony for your ears. The intricate vocal loops build as the tension rises before the drop reesl you in like a fish on a hook, before ripping you away much like a surfer pulled into a monster wave. Instead of clenching and fighting the pull, you pleasantly drift off as you let the sounds and tide wash over you, bliss incarnate. This is a track that you can easily get the funk down to on the dance floor, or close your eyes and drift away for a little bit.
