Hot Chicken

Editors’ Notes Starlito’s something of a cult favorite among those who like their rap raw, honest, and profound—you can hear the Nashville MC’s emotion bleeding through every word. On Hot Chicken, he serves up a plate of booming trap bangers (“Make It Out the Ville”) and angst-ridden electric guitar (“Intro”) with a hearty dose of world-weary realism. Over the dusty soul samples of “Baby Fever,” Lito sums up his ethos: “You gotta feel something to know you’re alive, right?”
