Emerging rapper Ben Reilly delivers cutthroat bars and lyrical stamina on latest release, “Osborn Park.” The track is an ode to his past, reflecting on the trials and tribulations of his upbringing. With each verse, he creates a nostalgic story of resilience.
“Osborn Park” has a powerful hip-hop beat with light bass sprinkled throughout. The rapper opens the track with isolated vocals delivering a poetic setup for his storyline. Before the beat drops into the main tempo, he spits, “B**** I had my first fight right off Osborn Park.” The hard-hitting rhythm picks up to a consistent cadence. By the two-minute mark, the production switches to a slower melodic pace highlighting his ability to change up and still withstand his expressive flow.
The single is a motivational speech disguised as a simple rap anthem. He effortlessly balances lyricism with nonchalant hype. He describes his creative process, “I wanted to convey this story in a way that feels more triumphant than traumatic, emphasizing the victory over adversity rather than dwelling on the pain.” Paying homage to his first home of Osborn Street in New York, he uses his craft to explore his humble beginnings as he ensures the path to self-acceptance. Combining lyrical aptitude with an entertaining sound, Ben Reilly is the poster child for the next generation of hip-hop.
