“Empty Roads” isn’t your typical boom-bap throwback—it’s a gritty journey that merges introspective lyrics with a nostalgic yet fresh production. Crafted by Fashawn, ProducerTrentTaylor, and featuring verses from Odessa Kane and Scarub of Living Legends, this track unfolds with raw emotion and thought-provoking storytelling. Each artist brings their unique perspective, yet the synergy between them is undeniable. Scarub’s verse is especially notable, delivering some of his finest work, weaving in social commentary with personal reflection.
Fashawn, whose lyrical realism has earned him a spot alongside hip-hop heavyweights like Nas and 9th Wonder, once again proves his staying power. From his turbulent upbringing in Fresno, California, to becoming a voice of conscious rap, Fashawn’s journey is deeply ingrained in his music. Odessa Kane, hailing from San Diego, and Scarub from the iconic Living Legends collective, join him on this track, further amplifying its powerful narrative.
This track is fire as hell. I’ve been bumpin this shit since it came out.
