NoCal rapper O2 made a spot-on marriage of beat and rhymes with “Cadi-Lean.” The casual-knocking, guitar-hearted instrumental serves as the perfect habitat for 02 to say his piece on the tensions of street life, and how he keeps his cool. His pinched voice and collected, straightforward flow make for a good listen, and there are some solid lyrics to boot: “Hit the defrost they see boss no tint on the window, slight hint of mint in the endo / almost pop a nigga over a rental. Simple–I let him live because most men are minnows.”
