Young Thad F’s newest track, “Recess,” is a warm and fun homage to the ups and downs of childhood days in school, with an old school hip-hop style. The song instantly calls back visions of playground shenanigans, summer skates, and timeless lunchtime freestyles courtesy of the clear and vintage production of Doggy Charles. From the onset of a beat, there is a feeling of being transported to a time where learning comes to a halt, and pure enjoyment takes over.

Thad’s delivery supports the casual confidence in his voice, which complements the bounce of the beat. Meanwhile, the production layers behind it, and the mixing by CS at Lounge Studios in NYC, help to create that perfect feeling of a live playground, as there is a tangible element to the sounds. With the first bass punch or hi-hat, you really can feel that every variable, like the melodic sample, serves each moment without infringing upon the dance-life of energy in executing storytelling to fuel the song.
“Recess” is a sonic blink of youth and mirrors childhood moments in and out of the structured world of schools’ education, and play exists. Big ticket - if you love hip-hop with heart and history (and this song has both), then “Recess” is a must hear.
