Papi Finesse Makes Impressive Debut With “Riding” Music Video
Papi Finesse will take you to a unique space as his first single features a chilled vibe to it. By all means, with “Riding” the traditional heavy Hip-Hop beats are absent. Nevertheless, the rising artist from Paterson, New Jersey turns into a romantic poet, where his rhymes bring up doubts about his relationship. While the lyrics stir emotion, the soothing instrumentals are absolutely accurate. In essence, he questions if his girlfriend is down for the ride, riding through all the pain you encounter before success. For this reason, I think loyalty and confidence is everything that is expected from your lover. Take a look at this impressive debut below.
