Ah man, there is always something to behold every time Rouge drops a song because she never disappoints, ever! In 2016 Rouge proved that she is worth her salt as an artist and dropped chart topping joints: Mbongo Zaka and Sheba Ngwan’o, which showcased both her lyricism and vocal ability.
This time she is pulling through with a new joint, No Strings, for all the ladies and gents who know exactly what that means.
No Strings is such a dope song. She raps about not wanting to be someone’s bae and how she’s all about friends with benefits. This dude is tryna take her out on dates and baecations but she is trying to be single and just do her.
The bars are hella cold and raw and I’m pretty sure the ladies here have experienced this once in their lives. “Baby, I’m a savage, I ain’t worth your vision/ If you can handle the heat, you get up out the kitchen. Because I told you I’ma hurt you , but you never listen/ You way too focused on the goal, you got that tunnel vision.”
And the beat, produced by Mae N Maejor, is proper fire famo! It’s on that Trap tip with some hectic percussion and Rouge stays on beat with her cold bars. “I’ve got no ties to you. Even if you leave, I wouldn’t fight for you. Talking ’bout love when I’m just tryna f@ck. Tell you straight, I won’t even lie to you”. Damn!
The response to this joint has been nothing but positive, check out some of the tweets,
