Struggling by Ytn Paco

Toronto Music Archive

Ytn Paco has been dropping some bangers in recent months, including "Switch," "Water Whip," and now "Struggling." Ytn Paco brings to the table a dope bright happy energetic cadence that is just so engaging. This song has a playful vibe to it, but it also has some profound and heartfelt lyrical substance. His rhythm selection and vocal delivery are always on another level, and he always keeps it lively and vibrant. Paco shines on this single, which features a catchy and memorable hook. This is the Paco we know and love, he brings the heat on the regular. Paco never failed to deliver a great verse. He constantly brings dope rhythmic flows to the table, spicing things up, which, when mixed with his cadence, is simply top-notch. Paco's ad-libs gently get everyone ready and warmed up as the music begins with a powerful instrumental melody. The 808s kick in and help give the tune its impact, as well as contrast Paco's higher-pitched voice. The lyrics tackle some serious topics and issues that he's been dealing with, as evidenced by his passionate delivery. Paco's music does not highlight his problems through his delivery or rhythm selection, but rather creates music that is not only good for vibes but also has a deeper meaning in the lyrics. Ytn Paco has consistently supplied high-quality music, and I'm looking forward to hearing about a potential full-length project in the near future. That would undoubtedly draw a lot of new attention to his name and propel it even higher.
