The relentless release schedule 7eddy has maintained this year is proof he is truly a star in the making. Three singles into his run without a miss on his record, we were extremely excited to see what would be next for the emerging hip-hop act. With hit records like “Fade Away”, “Pills” and “Calvin Klein” under his belt, 7eddy is becoming an established name in the Irish scene and he continues this form on his latest single “Don’t Play.”

On “Don’t Play”, 7eddy shows off his vocal range in ways we have yet to see. He is churning out melodies with hitting high notes while still laying down thought-provoking rhyme schemes The combination of pop melodies with hip-hop production in this latest cut is proof that 7eddy is a much more versatile artist then we were eld to believe.
A sense of vulnerability cuts through the confessional style lyricism in “Don’t Play.” You can hear the honesty and rawness in the delivery of each word. The production is based is driven by a blend of acoustic elements paired with trap drum patterns. The stuttering hi-hats and hard-hitting 808 patterns create an amazing canvas for 7eddy to deliver vivid imagery in his performance.
