TeeLdub’s latest single, ‘Time To Shine’, invigorates the hip-hop scene with its energizing melody and meaningful lyrics. Hip-hop artist Tee Lee, who goes by the moniker TeeLdub and is based in Atlanta, Georgia, credits a dream to have helped him conceive the melody of ‘Time to Shine’, and he rightfully does so with his seamless blend of the rhythm and the verses.
Being in the music scene since 2003, TeeLdub is the co-founder of Southern Slang Records and draws inspiration from the likes of OutKast, Goodie MOB, and Tupac. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the track is about TeeLdub’s reflections on his personal journeys and experiences, and how, despite all his struggles, he has maintained his optimism.
‘Time to Shine’ manages to hook with a female-voiced chorus and gets the beat going long enough for TeeLdub to rap his way into the core message of the song—how there is a light at the end of the tunnel. His faith in the power of hard work and resilience shines throughout the entirety of the song, and the verses of collaborative artist Slim So Serious drive the point home with a boost of positivity in their fast-paced rap. The element of being upbeat and playful is persistent, and the alluring chorus provided by the female singer serves as the perfect backdrop for their captivating verses.
Co-produced by TeeLdub and JBEZE, ‘Time to Shine’ is the perfect testament to the artist’s dedication and perseverance and his mastery of a compelling chorus with deeply resonating lyrics. To discover more about him, visit Spotify.
