Right off the bat, Symba starts off his latest single “GOAT” by name-dropping some of the biggest artists in the game, from Kendrick Lamar to Drake and J. Cole. He also delivers some reflective bars about the state of the rap game right now and what it takes to be considered the greatest in the genre. “See now the game is based off narratives and comparisons/ Anything can be true if you get enough people sharing it/ How could the facts be fake if it’s opinion based?/ Anyone can enter the race in an interface/ That’s why I think I’m the GOAT,” he declares. It’s a strong first step from the rising artist as he gets ready to drop his forthcoming project, Results Take Time, this summer.
