"Blood test" has an undeniable tension, and it's the dark, tension-filled second single from whither's debut EP, "un)Polished." Fueled by vulnerable writing, razor-sharp wordplay, and a deliberately alternative, moody production style.
The heart of the song is whither's view on lyricism. There are many double entendres, vulnerable punchlines, and vivid metaphors, which give the track a heavy emotional character without losing its hip-hop roots. Another exposure is the "blood test," which appears in weird imagery and in a weird way of handling flow and delivery.
The production does its part to make that atmosphere. It exists in a darker space, drawing on the moodier aspects of Mac Miller's "Angels" and Lil Peep, but never losing sight of the craft of the pen. It's that mix of atmosphere and lyrical muscle that gives "Blood test" its own character.
The song seems interested in creating a world where tension, openness, and complex emotions can coexist. "Blood test" is a fascinating glimpse into whither's artistic direction. This is an emotive hip-hop release, all about atmosphere, delivery, and writing that will reward your attention.
