Rafayel’s latest single, “Sedated,” is a blistering wake-up call to the rap and hip-hop industry. Produced by VirkoSounds, the track opens with a heavy-hitting beat that instantly sets the tone for Rafayel’s unapologetic lyricism. Positioned as a critique of the current state of modern rap, “Sedated” is both a personal declaration and a challenge to his contemporaries. The infectious hook, with lines like “Feeling so sedated / I don’t got to but I will,” captures Rafayel’s defiance and determination, making it a perfect introduction to his newly released album, The Divine Son.

In the verses, Rafayel alternates between poetic storytelling and sharp braggadocio. His clever wordplay – “Building shit I’m Ikea about it” and “The way I’m working designing shit / They about to call the boy Virgil” – showcases his versatility. The second verse takes an introspective turn, revealing his vision of success and his role as an artist unafraid to defy conventions. Rafayel’s delivery is both raw and polished, balancing aggression with a calculated confidence that will leave listeners wanting more.

“Sedated” is more than just a song; it’s a manifesto. Rafayel’s partnership with VirkoSounds elevates the track’s energy, crafting a soundscape that amplifies his rebellious spirit. As part of The Divine Son, the single feels like a pivotal moment in Rafayel’s career, signaling his intent to carve his own path in the industry.
