• Artist: Hi-Rez
• Track: Applause
• Producer: Con10der Productions
• Album: Impatiently Waiting EP

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Hi-Rez! On his latest EP single, premiering on our front page along with John Greene Films' official visuals, the Fort Lauderdale wunderkind fills us in on a few of the many reasons why he's deserving of Applause—from his singleminded dedication to the hustle, to his realness, to the general excellence of his bars. Con10der Productions cooks up a pensive synth-string beat to back the rhymesayer as he celebrates his achievements and vents about the stresses of the grind in high-energy, double-time verses. Does this cut deserve a standing ovation? If you think so, you'll doubtless find more to like on Hi-Rez' Impatiently Waiting EP, released in May and available now online.
