"Summer" by My Friend Shawn and Ryan KJ is exceptionally well rounded instrumentally and lyrically.

The penmanship from both artists is imbued in substance, particularly the last verse as Shawn's vocal delivery becomes downhearted by virtue of the vulnerability displayed. This is quite a contrast to the beginning where we were welcomed to these playful flows reminiscent of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony over a bouncy drum beat.

Touching on the topics of happiness, depression, and yearning, this song perfectly represents how the kids of my generation have had to handle this pandemic and the tragedies around it.
