tripleS “Visionary Imaginative and prescient” needs to be one of many extra ridiculous sub-unit names to emerge currently, totally embracing an adjective-noun repetition like a rare extraordinaire. However hey, that is Okay-pop! Enjoyable with language is simply an added bonus. Group identify apart, Visionary Imaginative and prescient marks the debut of tripleS’s first dance-based sub-unit. Hit The Ground delivers an old-school hip-hop sound with emphasis on groove and perspective.

Every time Okay-pop seeks to move again to 90’s hip-hop influences, chances are high we’ll hear the rubbery bass popularized by H.O.T’s 1996 hit Warrior’s Descendent. Positive sufficient, Hit The Ground opens with this acquainted association. The manufacturing goes on so as to add extra synth, usually blaring like sirens within the background. The track has lots of the proper substances however there’s a messiness to their deployment that makes the instrumental really feel overly busy and never notably funky. Typically simplicity works higher on a monitor like this.

Equally, Hit The Ground‘s hooks are in every single place. I’m not keen on the mantra at its middle and the peeks of melody we get through the pre-choruses are largely unmemorable. The rapped verses are enjoyable, however fail to land any main punches. For those who’re in search of an addictive 90’s hip-hop throwback from an idol group, you’re higher off going again to Younger Posse’s extra targeted and playful Ate That.
