Record Breaking New Single “Iconic!” Makes Female Rapper Erinem the Fastest in the Game

August 20, 2022

Erinem, an American rapper buzzing through headlines with each new music release, announces the debut of her new single, ‘Iconic!” which officially released on Friday, August 19th. Erinem continues to make her mark in Hip Hop as an unrivaled lyricist, and “Iconic!” is no exception.

Erinem is a force with the pen; her ability to craft intricate and complex rhyme schemes interlaced with wordplay and punchlines sets her apart from every other rapper in the game. As if that weren’t enough, Erinem pushes the boundaries of her skillset even farther in her latest single, adding World Record speed to her growing list of accolades. Midway through the third verse of “Iconic!” Erinem launches into a super sonic speed verse, rapping at an incredible 11.2 syllables per second for 30 seconds straight. Not only has she blown away her competition in terms of female fast-rappers, she’s beaten the best records of the male fast- rappers, too. Clocking in at an average of 7.54 words a second, Erinem shows how truly skilled she is as a technical rapper, as well.

“Iconic!” is a showcase track that Erinem spent five months creating (the same amount of time it took to make her last EP ‘Y.B.A.L.A.’). Immediately after pressing play listeners will be captured by the vibe of this track. It’s dark, yet lively. Playful, yet a little intimidating. It’s exciting from the beginning right down to the last phrase at the end of the song, which hangs dramatically into the silence. At 166 bpm, the track is an upbeat romp that makes even the listener feel like they are becoming iconic. With the last 30 seconds of “Iconic!” beating several Guinness World Records for speed, duration, and syllables per second, it also impressively beats the current record-holder’s time for “Fastest Rap Verse in a Hit Song”. If “Iconic!” is a chart-topper, Erinem will take that record, too. Erinem says she’s just in it for the opportunity to challenge herself against the greats, performing at their greatest.

When interviewed about the record, Erinem elaborated, saying, “I had to try it. I had to try and see if I could squeeze in even one- syllable-more than the world record holder. Me going marginally faster in my new single doesn’t really mean much, as far as metrics-for-greatness go; but to me, just trying to keep up with the greats makes me feel closer to being on that level myself. It’s really what I’m in this for. I found my peers in this genre. I found people who have similar minds, and similar passions. So, for me, the dream has always been just one thing: to work with my peers in this industry, and to learn and grow from the greats.”

 

Back to the track at hand, “Iconic!”, Erinem shows off her unmatched ability to deliver quick-witted bars at monstrous speed along with unmatched verbal dexterity. She paints a vivid canvas of back-to-back rhymes in verse two, with lines like, “probing the coating from the bottle” “doping and coping” and “quoting the opium like it’s gospel,” “I’m eroding and loathing, lost-well.” Erinem’s ability to perfectly juggle multiple rhyme schemes at once while simultaneously using it to tell a story feels impossible to actually pull off. But “Iconic!” seems to be all about accomplishing the impossible.

 

Erinem has broken new ground as a rapper, and particularly as a female in hip hop. Unmatched in her lyricism, unrivaled in her speed, and unfazed by her recent accomplishments, Erinem might have been right when she said, “I think I’m becoming, Iconic! Iconic! Iconic!” in the song’s hook. One thing is certain: “Iconic!” fully lives up to its name.
