Overall Impression: Brooklyn-based hip-hop artist Farel "Infarel" Wilson drops streetwise knowledge set to the sounds of gritty psychedelic soul on his single, titled "Distribution." Crisp drums and hard-hitting kicks are supported by deep electric bass, funky guitar stabs and lush retro keys in a dynamic instrumental arrangement that provides Infarel with plenty of proverbial fuel for his fire. His verses are tight, the flow effortless as he gives a commanding vocal performance that's capped off by his delivery of the compelling hook. Old school and contemporary hip-hop fans alike will appreciate the lyrical gravity and soulful production of Infarel's "Distribution", released under Gaimchang3r Ent/Bungalo/Universal Music Group.
