Pat Ron’s latest album Trap Ron
I strongly believe and firmly stand behind that if Dallas were to compose a contemporary list of young hip hop legends, recording artist Pat Ron would undoubtedly land in the top 5. There’s in no denying his ruthless work ethic and his dedicated fan base that stretches across the globe. On more than one occasion, Pat Ron flexed on the entire local scene as he exercised his ability to sell and distribute physical copies of his music on an international level. That’s outstanding in my point of view, considering this day and age majority of revenue from music relies on shows and streaming services (unbeknownst to me, I was unaware that people still play compact discs, you can’t get anymore 90’s than that). Unless you’re a hater, it’s hard to not commend his efforts and applaud his determination. What baffles me is how easy he portrays it to be; I’m not sure if I know any other artist that can create a cash flow of selling physicals with ease the way he does in 2020.
Last week, Pat Ron released a body of work I dub as a future classic, Trap Ron, which is now available on SoundCloud, Spotify and Apple Music. Off top, the cover art to Trap Ron is eye candy and is pleasurable to look at; it appears to be cartoon collage containing elements of what his music portrays and what it appears to be Franklin the turtle at the feet of the cartoon avatar version on Pat Ron, puffing an enormous blunt. 13 songs deep and roughly 30 mins, Trap Ron features familiar singles including some of his catchiest jams, “Swangin Swervin”, “Upinnishoe” and “Smokepurrp”. Through the duration of this project he maintains his signature, effortless, thc influenced style of hip hop that draws comparison to Pittsburgh’s Wiz Khalifa and Louisiana’s Currency.
Pat Ron has an uncanny talent to formulate his words in to a rhythmic flow, caressed by the errorless pronunciation of his bars. Backpack Boy 3, produced by the one and only Yellow Jones, reminds his fans of his impeccable skill to manipulate his vocabulary to fit his smooth delivery. The song, More Grams produced by Sadler and Ronen presents itself to me as a song that showcases Pat’s ability to go bar for bar without hesitation, equivalent to a true MC.
Pat Ron’s versatility seems natural and difficult to go unnoticed as I listen to the kickback/ party track, V-12; it’s perfect for an early summer pool vibe session.
As I mentioned earlier in this article, Trap Ron is a future classic. It features the best of Pat Ron that we can grasp onto with our ears; stylistic flow matching each instrumental with potent swagger.
