Joe Rich – FAR GONE Ft. Medikal

Fast-rising recording artist Joe Rich and Ghanaian hip-hop heavyweight Medikal have teamed up for an explosive, high-energy collaboration named “FAR GONE”.

This explosive CD arrives as Afrobeats, street-hop and drill fans are seeking hard-hitting, inspiring anthems built on ambition, tenacity and uncompromising self-assurance. Joe Rich has been building momentum consistently in the underground music space with his keen melodic instinct and relatable songwriting. He joins Medikal to create a bold record that talks about growth, celebrates elevation, and reaching a level of success that is far beyond the reach of haters and detractors.

The sound architect builds a joyful, hard-hitting soundscape fueled by sliding sub-basslines, banging drill drums and crisp percussion shakers. A driving mid-tempo groove is layered with dark synth loops and bright piano textures to keep the adrenaline pumping but not crowd the arrangement. Meanwhile, the crisp sound engineering leaves the sonic space clean and uncluttered, allowing both performers to convey their voices and punchlines with immaculate clarity.

The first part of the music is taken by Joe Rich in his distinctive textured register, assured melodic cadences and experienced delivery. He rides the bouncing tempo with ease, dripping with real conviction on the verses while dropping sticky hooks and irresistible refrains right from the initial drop. Soon after, Medikal comes into the mix, injecting a big burst of energy with his signature punchy flow, sharp Twi-English bars and dominating street swagger, boosting the joint into an unforgettable, high-octane high point.

The songwriting focuses a lot on financial ascent, street smarts, ignoring doubters and celebrating the distance traveled from the trenches to the top (“Far Gone”). Both acts utilize realistic storytelling and smart wit to turn the daily hustle hardships into a global victory anthem for dreamers and hustlers everyplace.

All of this comes together smoothly over the course of this single to make for a wholly pleasurable listening experience.
