24hrs Reflects on Pain and Loss in New Single ‘PERCFECT’
A melodic summary of his life so far.
The Georgia-based rapper 24hrs has released a new single, PERCFECT, in which he reflects on how to cope with – or avoid – pain. The drop follows the release of his recent mixtape, 12 AM in Atlanta 2, which landed in April.
His recognisable, heavily-autotuned style continues on PERCFECT, which comes in under three minutes as a flowing stream of consciousness on the artist’s life so far. It also includes references to his previous encounters with the police: I told my dawg to take the L, ’cause it’s his first offense / He told the cop that was his gun, he was just not convinced /Hands around my back, I’m sittin’ on the fence.”
Later in the track, the rapper also acknowledges the pain caused by the loss of his friends: “They ain’t beefin’, they don’t wanna die / Miss my n*gga, man, I wanna cry.”
The artist, whose real name is Robert Dozier Davis III, came to prominence by dropping semi-anonymous releases on Soundcloud, before revealing his identity as the Atlanta rapper formerly known as Royce Rizzy. 24hrs is also the older brother of rapper MadeinTYO.
