\"Swag-Like-the-King\"Imagine the most clich\u00e9, stereotypical rap song you can think of. Then multiply it by five and you have El-Run Run\u2019s first EP. Swag Like The King is the first release by a duo that has produced music together for the last decade, but has just now decided to release their creations to the world. In the future, they might want to limit their music to high school parties and basement jam sessions, where they\u2019ll be a hit. This EP will (hopefully) never make it big time, but it\u2019s catchy in spite of itself. While the lyrics and flow are reminiscent of that wanna-be rapper friend we all had in high school, (the majority of verses refer to the like of, \u201cyou a hater; livin\u2019 life big; smoke, drink, party, that\u2019s what we do\u201d), the music behind the almost comically terrible lyrics aren\u2019t bad. In fact, this EP is pretty decent if you want to zone out and listen to something with over-the-top autotune and a pretty good beat. That being said, if you\u2019re looking for a Kendrick Lamar-style relevance and flow to gush about with your friends, run away as far as you can from this album. Otherwise, the catchiness of the tunes paired with the almost comically terrible lyrics will draw you in and force you to play this EP on repeat, until you bang your head against the wall.
