In a genre often dominated by heavy 808s and complex production layers, silence can be the loudest instrument. This is the energy WoolseyBaby taps into with his latest release, "Easy (Thinking About You) (Stripped)."Stepping away from the trap-heavy influences seen in tracks like "Mozart's Trap House," this release offers a raw, unfiltered look at the artist behind the boards. It’s a track that trades the club for the bedroom, delivering a dose of chill rap that feels both intimate and universally relatable.
"Easy (Thinking About You) (Stripped)" is a masterclass in minimalism. By stripping away the aggressive percussion and synthesized layers, WoolseyBaby allows the melody and flow to carry the weight of the song.The track sits comfortably in the Chill Rap and Lo-Fi pocket, perfect for:
The Verdict: The absence of a heavy beat doesn't make the song "softer"—it makes it heavier. Every breath and inflection in the vocal delivery lands harder because there is nowhere to hide.
The "Stripped" format forces the listener to lock in on the narrative. As the title suggests, the song circles the inescapable nature of memory—how "easy" it is for the mind to drift back to someone, even when you’re trying to move forward.WoolseyBaby’s delivery here is conversational and melodic, blurring the lines between rapping and singing. It’s a style that fans of artists like XXXTentacion (in his acoustic moments) or Post Malone will find immediately familiar and comforting.
For those tracking WoolseyBaby’s rise (from his Twitch streams to his "Lyft Chronicles"), this track showcases a different side of his artistry. Known as a multi-instrumentalist and producer, he usually constructs wall-to-wall soundscapes.However, "Easy (Thinking About You) (Stripped)" proves he doesn't need the production crutch. It highlights his versatility—he can produce the banger, but he can also pick up an instrument and play the ballad.
This isn't a track for the pre-game; it's the track for the comedown. Add this to your rotation if you appreciate:
