The Third is a new rapper busting out of the scene in Chicago. As well as, a poet and rapper, Third is an educator. His writing steamed from poetry his father wrote as well as his mentor; Dr. Groove. The Third has got his name around from featuring on Hamilton, Pitchfork, and The Daily Show. The Third just recently released his debut album which is an, introspective piece that admits to moving forward and showing love to friends and family. The Third is wise beyond his years and it shows in his well written lyrics and structures.
“Hopin’” is one of Third’s tracks that really stood out to us because it obtains a super classic and analog sound. This track could’ve been dug up from 40 years ago and you wouldn’t know the difference. The amount of warmth and space in this track is so perfect on the ear. Every sound fills a space and mixes together give you the nice warm product that is “Hopin’”. The Third is no joke and more than perfect for any classic hip hop fan.
