North West London hip-hop singer-songwriter and rapper Trunkie just dropped his intoxicating new track, “In the Middle (Malcom) [Freestyle].”
While the title and lyrics hint at indecision over mundane life choices, Trunkie knows exactly where he’s headed musically.
“In the Middle (Malcom) [Freestyle]” opens with lightly processed vocals that hook you instantly. It’s the top-line melody that grips you and doesn’t let go for the entire 2 minutes and 24 seconds.
You’re locked into his loop from the jump—and you’re not quite sure if that’s a bad thing.
The beat leans into trap, with 808s and heavy kicks holding it down while Trunkie weaves between effortless vocal riffs and melodic rap.
The chorus is pop-coded, bouncing back and forth with sticky hooks that echo the track’s core theme: indecision and the struggle to choose a direction.
The production smartly mirrors the subject matter—tight, unresolved, and totally addictive.
