Wiz Khalifa began 2021 by landing a full-blown mixtape, the project that could only come from the energy of leaving 2020 behind. The mixtape, done alongside DJ DaddyKat, “FUCC2020,” is a 24-track project that feels like a farewell to a year that struck everyone hard. One song that stands out in this collection of quick-hitting tracks is “Say A Prayer.”
The track begins with an upbeat, casual feel, led by a funky baseline and lighthearted synths that perfectly capture the sound. There’s no extended instrumental intro as he hops right in, coughing up bars with his characteristic flow. The tempo is plodding and deliberate, which he’s perfected over the years, rendering the song carefree.
And it wasn’t only the sound that helped “Say A Prayer” shine. The title indicates Wiz’s introspection, maybe even gratitude, as he enters a new phase. Where “FUCC2020” is soaked in one free-spirited, rebellious energy, this stand-alone track is a reminder of what a little prayer can do. Once more, Wiz Khalifa sets the tone with “FUCC2020.” He gives fans exactly what they need to hear, whether he’s showing up or just tuning in.
