Lists: 4 Tay K Songs Better Than “The Race”

Tay K’s “The Race” took the internet by storm partially because of the controversy surrounding the 17-year-old rapper. He’d been on the run from the cops after being charged with Capital Murder for his role in a home invasion when he was 16 years old. “The Race” featured Tay rapping in front of his wanted poster. This kind of sheer audacity made everyone pay attention to just how good the song was. The other reason that the song took off like it did because Tay K can actually rap – really, really, good. Besides “The Race,” Tay K has a brief collection of tracks that are just as good, if not better, than his viral hit. We decided to look at these tracks not in the spotlight for this list.

I <3 My Choppa

“R-I-P Eazy E!” Tay K shouts into the microphone early in this song, citing the influence in which he crafts this record around. This is a groundbreaking and off-kilter homage to the fallen rapper that sounds very good. There’s a couple of questionable lines if you sit back and listen to the lyrics if you’re into that type of thing. Tay K does his thing in the lyrical department, bringing a better showing than what he displayed on “The Race.”

Murder She Wrote

Part of what makes Tay K so endearing is that he purposefully chooses beats that won’t empower his voice. Whereas other rappers try to go for power over musicality, Tay K lets the beats act as a second fiddle as he gets his bars off. On “Murda She Wrote,” Tay K bounces off the quiet production with a bang, producing perhaps his best song besides “The Race.” The possibility of this one going viral is also high.

Lemonade

Another thing that Tay K likes to do is get eerie with it, building an introduction that may creep you out. The beginning here is rather lengthy – clocking at around 30 seconds when the track is only 2 minutes – and features a loop of the beat’s skeleton playing. But when he does come in, it’s slaughter.

Gun Him Down

Perhaps the eeriest pick of them all, “Gun Him Down” sounds nothing like you’d expect it to. It should be clear now that he knows how to pick his production. This increasingly spooky cut should have been longer than a minute and a half, but it’s still a great entry none-the-less.

Best of Instagram: @cree.ikuko

Cree Ikuko is a biracial beauty who’s racy photoshoots have taken Instagram and Tumblr by storm. Her art, always tasteful – she refrains from shooting nude – has an elegant quality about it, making each release of hers something that people look forward to like sports games. In addition to being a rising model, she also is a poet, songwriter, and recently, gotten into vlogging. She’s a multi-threat with a high probability for continued success, so checking out her Instagram account for our Best of Instagram series is a must. Check out our pics below.

Perfection, Unbridled

At first glance, this picture is nothing but a simple selfie that’s both stunning and mysterious. But taking a closer look shows the many working parts that make this one of our favorite pictures on Instagram so far. From the curly hair to the smug look on her face, the reveal of just enough cleavage to intrigue viewers, and the color contrasts of the shirt that make it one of the most interesting tops currently out on the market, Cree knows how to make a statement.

Beach Body

When it comes to beach bodies, Cree might have the ultimate one. Her bathing suit is endlessly inviting, almost teasing us in what it hides. She knows that she fills it out to perfection – it’s up to us to refrain from salivating like hungry dogs.

Bathroom Stall Selfies

https://www.instagram.com/p/Baxf5J8Absf/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

Since when has a bathroom selfie ever made it into our best of Instagram list? Cree provides an exception: her careless pose borders on perfect. Between her casual face and the way her dress clings to her body like a bodysuit, nothing can go wrong with this picture.

Car selfies

It’s become a thing now that we can’t deny: Cree breaks all selfie rules with her careless, yet elegant photos. A casual car trip turns into an aesthetically pleasing visual memory that we’re glad to have come across on Instagram.

String Chronicles

String bathing suits are her thing and we’re glad to see that she has more than one. The turquoise color acts as a delicate contrast from her bronze skin that makes it all the more intriguing to view. The fact that most of her face is covered in shadow goes a long way in making this photo mysterious.

Killer Nurse

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s only right that she’d find a costume to scare people into a heart attack. This costume will cause a heart attack, but not out of fright.

Halloween Preparations

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZywGDBheL3/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

Out of both Halloween costumes, this one would be scarier. It’s almost the more inviting of the two, with cleavage that looks dangerously close to popping out. The red hair also helps the picture to look scary. Be on the lookout on Halloween to see her in this.

Cree Lannister

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZRtaNDBo9L/?taken-by=cree.ikuko

There’s a very Game Of Thrones feel to this post in particular. Although she’s sitting in a white armchair that’s the stark opposite of the foreboding Iron Throne in Westeros, the self-confidence evident in the post along with the pose invoke Cersei Lannister comparisons. We bet that Cree’s much nicer and more approachable than the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
