Whereas some emcees donât care to flow over high-energy instrumentals, California-based rapper C-Ryde is clearly looking to jump start the party with âContagious,â a single that has already seen an impressive amount of airplay on radio stations nationwide. Putting his trust in Charbelâs production, his raps are placed within the center of the dance floor at peak time, surrounded by sizzling keyboards and a techno kick thatâs been tweaked for a pop aesthetic. Vocalist Jen completes the formula with diva-styled vocal hooks to tie it all together. The result is a club-friendly tune that practically begs to be dropped when the floor is packed.

As C-Ryde flips verses about the object of his desire, it isnât the lyrics themselves that are the main draw. Itâs his delivery of those lyrics that will attract attention. He remains confident throughout the piece, his swagger intact while racing through rhymes over an instrumental clocking in around 126 beats per minute. Standard lyrical content is made more interesting through his emphasis on certain lines (for instance: âSheâs not your a-ver-age / Nâ not impressed by the car u travel inâ). It feels like heâs engaged in a verbal bob-and-weave with the backing track, moving with the precision of a champion boxer in the ring.

With its memorable hooks and intense beat, âContagiousâ is ultimately a pop song for club consumption. It makes no apologies for who the potential audience is and, judging from the airplay that it has already received, the network of support surrounding the song is on the rise. As relaxed and assured as C-Ryde sounds on a dance track, one has to wonder what he can do with a grittier instrumental underneath his vocals. Nevertheless, the blend of microphone controller and ladies man seems to be working for him, and âContagiousâ is all the proof that some listeners will need.
