Gabrielknowseverything delivers "Should I Be," a hip-hop record that blends confidence and self-reflection. It’s a track that takes from the sound of the 90s and early 2000s rap, evoking the swaggering energy of Jay-Z and Kanye West. At its core, it inquires about identity, but is committed to its ambition.
The production has a thoughtful edge, built on sharp drums and textures reminiscent of classic hip-hop eras. The sound design allows the message to move between confidence and doubt without losing steam. Featuring Mave and Lafayette Stokely, they deliver commanding verses that heighten the song’s emotional tension. Each voice offers a different level of assurance and introspection, pointing to the track's central question about self-value.
"Should I Be" is a meditation on success, pressure, and identity. Gabrielknowseverything gives an intimate and universal vision, which leaves a lasting emotional impact. This blend of openness and bravado highlights the artist’s emerging voice and his ability to engage you from various experiences and perspectives in a meaningful way.
