I have a slight gripe with RRB Duck’s new mixtape, Half Man Half Dog: Clearly, it should be called Half Man Half Duck. He already has a tape from last year titled Scrooge McDuck—might as well make it a thing! Anyway, the Duck Man is a Milwaukee rapper that I’ve underappreciated, though he frequently pops up as a guest on my favorite SME Taxfree songs. On “Uber Eats,” he shows out, laying down smooth D-boy raps over a piano-driven beat sure to get your shoulders bouncing. I particularly like the part when the beat fades out and he says, “I just got a brand new batch of dog, I finna put my paws on it,” even if it’s not an aquatic bird reference.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
