As someone who took the game to the international hip-hop community, PIVE has come a long way, and his “I Will Forever Be” series album introduced him to an eager fanbase that had been craving something inimitable and still instantly identifiable. Since then, it has become incontrovertibly clear that nothing can stand in his way or torpedo his tremendous momentum. He is one of the hardest-working emcees out there, always looking to improve his craft as much as himself as a person. As a result, he always comes back harder with banging tracks that ooze integrity, raw talent, and critical acclaim.
“Make It Count” is the latest release from PIVE and one that captures the essence of always pushing yourself to claim higher heights and taking those that matter with you. In this case, PIVE lyrically expresses his musical vision and how he’s been growing from strength to strength, taking the City of Spokane with him.
The intro is laden with mellow keys, setting an inviting tone right before the upbeat tempo with contemporary appeal is unleashed, setting a sufficient landing point for PIVE’s distinct vocal performance.
And like we’ve come to expect of him, he does not disappoint, capturing the true thematic essence of the track with some informed lyrics that are a seamless blend of poetic fluidity, intricate wordplay, and unforgettable hooks to keep the song fresh in your head even when it is not playing.
I love what they did with the track’s accompanying visuals; they are of the highest quality, showcasing such cinematic excellence with their lively depiction. Ultimately, this was the perfect complement to this jam in symbolism.
