The track begins with a snare-led intro that stimulates your eardrums, setting you up for what’s to come. After a few seconds, the production is taken to another level, with a jazz-centered sound now emanating, as Squid the Kid takes the first verse. He glides over the beat with ease, his impressive lyricism standing out, as he constantly swaps anxiety and excitement. The chorus has a sweet groove to it, and is undeniably catchy, making it simple follow and sing along to.

Dann Dib comes in for the second verse with a deeper level of vocality. He narrates his current ordeal, walking us through the “talking stage,” all the way to the nerve-wracking rendezvous, and wrapping it up with the events of the date. As you listen to the talented duo, it’s clear that they are natural-born storytellers, capable of transforming numerous fabricated or personal incidents and images into musical past-times for eager listeners.

Conclusively, “First Glance” takes you on a journey through a nail-biting and tense first date, with both music acts showcasing the humorous side of trying to navigate someone’s feelings after spending such little time together. You never quite know what that initial meetup will lead to, so the artistes stay hopeful for the best outcome – but low key expecting the worst. For fans of powerful hip-hop collaborations, this is one you simply cannot miss.
