While Tecca has always been talented, it felt as though some intangibles finally gelled together on the young artist\u2019s third studio album <i>TEC<\/i>, a melodic fever dream of pitched up vocal samples and slowed down synths that sounds like a billion dollars. Whether rapping alongside childhood icon Kodak Black or SoundCloud contemporary Ken Carson, that album found Tecca more than holding his own alongside major label money minters, though he certainly didn\u2019t need any assistance notching a hit (\u201c500lbs\u201d seemed to be everywhere online for three to six months). Last year\u2019s <i>PLAN A<\/i> was even more isolated, boasting just a single feature from Don Toliver across its 18 tracks, polishing the Long Island rapper\u2019s sound until everything was hypersleek, glossy as the paint on a Ghost or a Phantom. The singles from his upcoming album <i>DOPAMINE<\/i> extend this suave streak, decidedly un-childish if not quite grown and sexy.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-271493\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lil Tecca - OWA OWA (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hnbN2L_tkCE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('271493');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-271489\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Allow me to briefly digress: the best Nicki Minaj song of all time might be \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pqky5B179nM\">Check It Out<\/a>,\u201d thanks to will.i.am\u2019s hyperactive flip of \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W8r-tXRLazs\">Video Killed the Radio Star<\/a>.\u201d Lil Tecca\u2019s latest single \u201cOWA OWA\u201d takes the opposite tack, slowing The Buggles down to a slight jog, but there\u2019s a similar defamiliarization at play, twisting the source material until it neatly detaches from context. Over the lilting instrumental, Tecca spins a loose romantic narrative, detailing a touch-and-go casual relationship with a fling who wants more of the young star than his career will allow. \u201cOWA OWA\u201d isn\u2019t a particularly deep cut from Tecca, really a catchy hook stacked around ephemeral verses, but taken alongside Neptunes-channeling March single \u201cDark Thoughts,\u201d seems to indicate <i>DOPAMINE<\/i> will be a particularly danceable affair. Whether this song convinces you to get up and move or not, odds are its sample chop chorus will be stuck in your head for weeks to come.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-271492\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <iframe allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; fullscreen *; clipboard-write\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:10px;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/playlist\/rap-blog\/pl.35c36469c8b14eaf8166ad47fa80a5d5\"><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/2cVUPETgwYGaxA4RVShIjW?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Vivian Medithi<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
