Like every other beautiful woven song released by OnlyOneMassive featuring artistes in the industry, the song ‘Feel Good’ featuring Rhookcastle without a doubt is another intriguing track the listeners savour with great enthusiasm. Feel Good is a Hip-Hop/Rap music that tells a story of life, fame, wealth, fulfillment, and other good things humans lust for. The track featured the talented rapper Rhookcastle who throughout the instrumental evidently unveiled his lyrical prowess in soft sequences blended with a brisk but beautiful chorus.
In the opening verse, Rhookcastle sings about how he cherishes a good life that attracts success and feats, and he further detest a life that doesn’t attract good energy or that comes with stress ‘I just wanna live fine, I just wanna flex and enjoy only good vibes.’ Rhookcastle through his metaphorical lines made known to his audience his desires for comfort and luxury. He switches his sermon to throw an important question to the listeners ‘but, ki gan ni iwulo owo to ba ni isimi?’ The Yoruba line translates as ‘but, what’s the essence of money when you’re not at peace?’ This provocative line is such a tool of consciousness that indicates the rapper thought on after wealth accumulation and there’s no peaceful living. He believes such wealth is unworthy.
The featured rap artiste also unveils his great skill to deliver a simple but fascinating chorus despite being a rapper. He sings ‘yawa no fit stop my faaji, nah only good vibes I be catching, we go make this money just be happy, we go make this money just be happy.’ The chorus is more like a replicated message from the first verse but with a brief touch and emphasis. In the chorus, he preaches about how tribulations can’t hinder his fun, and how he cherishes good vibes and energy. He also lectured the listeners to keep being happy and assure them of getting money soon but before then, they should stay happy.
In the second verse, the rapper feels grateful and reveals his blessings over the years ‘lately i’ve been counting all my blessings…’ He extends his message by boasting about his progress despite several pressures. He talked about his late night steady hustle, and how he has been apprehended and locked up by the police frequently. He brags about his self-consciousness ‘believing in myself till you say it’s showing.’ This second and last verse was more of a message delivered by the rap artiste himself unlike the first verse which comes with a general sermon. After the second verse, comes the chorus again which ends the whole song. OnlyOneMassive, also at the end of Rhookcastle’s lyrics, introduced himself with hypes and brags. A fascinating way to end such a beautiful song.
Apart from the lyrical depth, metaphors, storytelling, and message of the song, credits need to be given to the harmonious voice background underneath the instrumental. The harmony contributes to the song melody and catchy verses. Nevertheless, this is great music with a superb instrumental, talented rapper, and message transitions from the verse to the chorus. This OnlyOneMassive collaboration track with Rhookcastle is a really powerful one. OnlyOneMassive doesn’t disappoint with his song releases which is evident in his previous releases too.
