Jersey club producer, AceMula, and rapper and producer, GBreezy, collaborate with New Jersey artist, OnlyJahmez for “Voice of the Suburbs.” Together, the trio was able to create a single that is braggadocios, playful, yet explosive. Influenced by Lil Durk’s album title, The Voice of the Heroes, “Voice of the Suburbs” is a tumultuous story of suburb life for the rapper – his relationships, his emotional unavailability, and his music career.
The bass booms underneath the Jersey club beat, with a synth arpeggiating and a light piano riffing throughout the song. As soon as the song begins, OnlyJahmez raps, “I lost my b*tch on purpose/Stressing wasn’t worth it/ I don’t trust nobody/Born and raised in Jersey.” “Voice of the Suburbs” elevates Jersey club to a new level – combining lyricism, tactful production, and high energy to create a memorable track.
A follow up to OnlyJahmez’s “Demons” and AceMula’s production on “JACK N DRILL,” “Voice of the Suburbs” is the perfect anthem to close the summer off with a bang.
