E.L is renowned for his versatility and ability to switch between styles seamlessly yet maintain a world class level through them. This new single comes as great news for fans who gravitate towards his rap and storytelling side.
The lyrics of ‘Red Rum’ cuts deep literally speaking. It narrates the story of a murder with E.L as prime suspect. Through deft storytelling, E.L narrates his account of the murder to what seems like a police interrogation over three verses. His narration expertly employs the misdirection technique to paint the picture of plausible ways the murder could have happened and who was killed. E.L strings the listener along and keeps us guessing by eliminating different possible scenarios as the plot unveils.
