Meraki - EP by Rod$ta

It’s Friday night. You just hopped out the shower and you’re getting ready to pull up to the function. Let me share some advice... spend that 15 minutes getting ready listening to Meraki by Rod$ta

This 5 song EP is boisterous enough to fill you with confidence and energy. Off the rip, “I Really Don’t Care” captures the attitude we all have towards that one ex. This vibe will shift your energy away from all your personal woes, and towards the night you’re about to enjoy. 

You like wordplay? “How Much Can you Handle?” Rod$ta shows off his wit while maintaining his confidence on track two. Then, the tape climaxes at the hit song, “Maybe, Maybe Not.” The song’s title is a response to your question of whether or not your old fling will “still let you get up in it.” In line with the theme of the project, this bop eases your mind as it reminds you that no matter how your night may end, you can rest well knowing you turned it up and went big. 

“I be stressing but I know it’s fine; I be overthinking all the time.”

The tape closes with an anthem that summarizes the energy that is so prevalent throughout. The feature from Only1Uno, whose “name is ringing bells in the south,” reinforces the braggadocios nature of this EP. The two artists come together to make sure you don’t forget the feeling of triumph that you feel from tracks one through five. 

The whole tape is produced by Atlanta’s best kept secret, Nastradomas. The young talent proves his destiny for greatness yet again with five instrumentals that would be an easy listen even without lyrics. Yet, the chemistry between Rod$ta and Nastradomas is clear, and the marriage between vocals and production is perfect enough to get you through every Friday night for the rest of the summer.

“I’m just letting you know, I’m just putting ya down!”
