Though Northern California emcee Caleborate is only 23, he displays the poise and wisdom of a rap veteran on “Made Me,” premiered yesterday by The FADER. Riding a laidback flow over spritely minor key piano chords, pitch-shifted synth bass, and muted snare drums courtesy of Kuya Beats and Trollex, Caleborate reflects on growing up in poverty and stunts on rappers more interested in their social media pages than giving their families a better life. Rather than wallow in his troubles, Caleborate uses his hardships as motivation: “I ain’t satisfied with what I got/cause never havin’ nothin’ made me wanna ball.” “Made Me” is an ideal table-setter for 1993, Caleborate’s second studio album, releasing August 29th.
