Clear Soul Forces' "Hit Me Now" starts off with a bang and once again shows why the Detroit raised rap group is one of the best lyricists in the game right now. Setting the pace with a classic ODB line from "Shimmy Shimmy Ya", the verbal assault just keeps pouring in like tropical rain. Lines like "Normally I come to the studio with a cannon but I pulled the master sword and I'm looking to slay Ganon..." help keep the link between their street cred and video game sensibilities locked down. The track is riddled with numerous references from Marvel superheroes to classic Nintendo games to good weed layered with metaphors and slick wordplay that could only come from the fantastic quartet. Once again the production goes to producer-rapper Ilajide who blends vocal samples (watch out for the Redman vocal on the hook), shuffles into a neck-snapping beat.
