East Orange’s Chris Patrick has consistently left listeners waiting for more with his singles, and his song, “3 AM” is a standout in his musical catalogue. Starting his rap career in high school and rapping at his college, Rider University, Chris Patrick’s career took off when he gained the opportunity to open up for Travis Scott in college.
An artist with tactful lyrical capabilities and nuanced melodies, Chris Patrick’s single “3 AM” sets the mood for a late night rendezvous with his love interest.
The song starts out with airy synths on the melody, and as the drums drop, Chris Patrick begins to sing, “It’s about 3 AM and you still want a nigga to slide on you/Lucky I ride for you/I’ma hit up yo line when I start up the drive for you/Wouldn’t want waste my time but you know that I vibe with you.”
The production is simple – an electronic drum kit, synths, a synth baseline, and vocals – and it all ties the song together with his melodic hook and verses. In the first verse, Chris Patrick sings, “Told you imma see you tonight/I seen yo text bout how you need me in yo life/Speed through them streets until I see you in my sight/My GPS said I’m gon be there when you like.”
After the second chorus, Chris Patrick continues to sing, “You glad that I stuck around/’Cause most niggas fuck around/You know they gon break yo heart/I swear I won’t take you apart/I’ll take the pieces and put ’em back together.”
