Artist: Mickey Factz
Song: A-
Technique: Constraint
Level: 10/10 GENIUS
In song writing a constraint is a self imposed rule or lyric limitation that helps push one’s creativity while challenging the listener to pinpoint what it is.
In “A-“ Mickey Factz writes an entire song about the letter “A” while never using the letter A in any of the words/lyrics. Calling out celebrities lists, the origins of the letter, the shape, a certain rappers wife’s bra size…etc. All of this alludes to the letter A but doesn’t say the letter nor does the bars contain the letter.
Standout quatrain(s):
I know you seen it before b
Get it? Seen it before B, but B is before C
I’m the first to do this, tell people employ me
So just like the letter don’t put people before me
The letter N needs to be with it, or throw the towel
Congruent to the introverts who seem foul/(fowl)
Birds flock together, if you don’t question who? I will(owl)
On IG use the symbol to find me
Then recite these lyrics precisely
End off with one dime piece, so spicy
Shout to TI her cup size need to be Tiny
