Kojey Radical’s “Expensive” slides into a slinky, soulful hip-hop groove built by producer/arranger Swindle. The track opens with the a cappella line, “Stop holding on to the past”, before a straight-ahead drum pattern with syncopated toms snapping around it locks in. Warm electric-piano swells sit under light bass while the tempo stays comfortably mid-range.
Kojey steps in like a chill narrator, bass-baritone grounded while the drums knock and the toms add swing. He paints the scene in quick cuts: “This feels dangerous/ Deep breath while you sprinkle your angel dust/ I go too far sometimes; I do. Fell in love with the night, nearly said I do." The space between the snare cracks and low, steady bass lets every line land with hip shaking spirit.
Planet Giza frontman Tony Stone lifts the hook with airy falsetto, flipping it into a flex of self-worth—enjoying the finer things while holding the line. Then Kojey returns in the second verse and tightens the focus. Old flings calling, a mahogany muse, money talk and independence above it all. Floor-ready and simmering, this is a club-funk cut that’s expensive by name and worth the entry fee.
