No Friends EP Pt. II
Written & Co-produced by HappyBirthdayCalvin
Formulating nine minutes and thirty seven seconds of sonic felicity, No Friends EP Pt. II intensifies the versatility of HappyBirthdayCalvin’s artistry. The melodic and rhythmic presence that co-exists within “High Life” and “Skyline” articulates an underlying harmony...creatively and musically catapulting him into a different realm. As HBDCalvin vocalizes on “High Life” “Young n-gga holmes, all a n-gga need is paper, turn nothing to something, yeah I did it for my haters, so fresh so clean, ice on me, yeah I’m riding with my team it feel like I won a ring,” celebratory vibrations ooze into the multi-layers of the piano, marimba, hi hats and light 808’s. Infusing a soft punk melody with a rhythm and blues cadence, HappyBirthdayCalvin’s vocal texture on “Skyline” fleshes out the harmony…providing rhythmic contrast onto the multidimensional production of the composition.
Shaping the overall sound and quality of No Friends EP Pt II , the creative sound design and effect based layers of “Fresh” highlights HBDCalvin’s urbane style of songwriting. Seemingly playing ping-pong between his verses and ad-libs as he belts out, “Got too many hoes, these hoes gone fold, fold like clothes, I count these hoes, I went straight to the money and they say I don’t know how to act yeah, they gone think I’m a dope boy the way that I came out this trap yeah”, Calvin delivers a smooth, yet energetic ambiance to the avant-garde creation of the instrumental. Grab a bottle, bring the party hats and lend your ear to the flavors that HappyBirthdayCalvin, OzOnTheTrack, L Peezy and Ty MadeIt cooked up with No Friends EP Pt. II .
