Uprising Florida rapper/songwriter TaReef KnockOut caught our attention with his newest release "My Way Out," a heartfelt piece that explores his past turbulent relationship. Over a warm and soulful backdrop comprising downtempo and punchy drums with mellow tones, TaReef KnockOut gives a detailed account of the ups and downs of balancing his art and maintaining a fledgling relationship. From being emotionally manipulated, abused and taken for granted, he looks back on his time in the chaos from a vulnerable and clear hindsight as he acknowledges his flaws and the piling up of poor decisions. Lines like "When I really needed you there, you turn your back, and never was there/Just to be fair, I wasn't perfect, nobody walking this Earth is, goddamn/a nigga trying girl/work with the kid" shows his vulnerable side as well.
