Boomie turns in "Lamb," a compact, 1-minute, 40-second rush of trap and gangsta rap energy that immediately sets the tone. The song is fast-paced, with a tempo of around 135 BPM. It also has a grey, introspective feel that matches its valence, likely alluding to themes of anger or frustration, or the ability to push through them, metaphorically.
Boomie delivers his performance on point, keeping the perfect tempo to go with the rhythmicized beat and storing all of its force in his robust pace. At -5.90 dB of volume, "Lamb" provides a forward thrust for the mix. With the energy score and liveness that belong more in a studio than on stage, the song tries to engulf you with premeditated intensity. "Lamb" is quite danceable, lending an impossibly rhythmic slant to its downbeat emotional tone.
The combination of kinetic and moody elements makes for a dynamic listening experience. The song features very few acoustic notes, so the vocal delivery takes on a significant role. This track functions as a release valve, a brief and intense outpouring, in which Boomie channels a wealth of raw emotion into sound. It is trenchant, pugnacious, and quite deliberately not refined in its robustness. If you are in the mood for some heavy, active trap with a healthy dose of raw emotion, then "Lamb" achieves its intended effect.
