Vietnamese/Chinese American rapper Spence Lee reflects on his life and challenges on latest release, “On God.” Intertwining thoughtful lyrics with the trap-inspired beat, the artist delivers a quality sonnet. The accompanying music video shows the rapper praying as he performs his verses in between scattered photos of his childhood.
“On God” has a hip-hop beat with synthesized drums and subtle claps. The bass hits as Lee delivers each verse. His flow meshes perfectly with the rhythm. His voice is articulate and enunciated with a deep and masculine resonance. He raps, “On God, I feel like it’s destined, my time and money invested / On God, the only person I’m in competition with is my reflection / On God I’m feelin’ well rested, and I work 24/7 / On God, I pray for my enemies ‘cause I know jealousy come from obsession.” Each bar connects to the next with an affirmation to keep moving forward.
Lee’s ambition can be felt through his passionate lyrics and polished style. He describes the track, “It reflects on my story, which gives me hope in the present and faith in my future. On God means I’m standing on God as my foundation.” Gearing up for his debut album release early next year, the lyricist is staying true to his faith and chasing his dreams to become a mainstream name in both music and fashion.
