Tacer harks back to hip-hop by telling the truth with "My Reckoning." This is a raw, lyric-forward release that feels like a pause, a deep breath before whatever's next. The song is the emotional center of an EP that will be released soon, and it leads with transparency.
Tacer confronts an internal struggle head-on, examining addiction, emotional isolation, and its effect on his own life without passing blame. The track is anchored in hip-hop and rap, allowing the words to breathe. Every beat is deliberate, and the silence between the phrases is just as meaningful as the phrases themselves.
"My Reckoning" lets the emotional weight build organically, and the effect is immersive, drawing you into a mode of thought rather than pushing you to respond. This track also draws a distinct line in Tacer's discography. Technical cipher-style tracks like this are generally about prowess and precision, but "My Reckoning" foregrounds emotional clarity first.
It's evidence of an artist growing willing to alter, rather than abandon, a technique in service of something more personal and enduring. "My Reckoning" reminds us of how difficult and necessary it can be to speak up for what you believe in, even when that truth is painful. For listeners, it's a sobering reminder that the best thing about hip-hop isn't its perfection, but its honesty.
