GV “Tunnelz” has hints of Freddie Gibbz, Tyler the Creator and Tech N9ne. Dark subject material and a tremendous ability with the spoken word ensures that listeners will be focused in to any utterance from GV. The rapid-fire flow of Tunnelz works nicely alongside the industrial, cityscape-like backing beat. GV is the rare example of a rapper that can do more than just tell a story – he adds considerably to the overall harmonies established by the backing flow. The gradual increase in tempo through the first half of Tunnelz ensures that the song will resound loudly with listeners long after it ceases to play.
