The definition of short and sweet can be applied to a certain kind of media that’s compact and delightful. CK YG – dubbed as the ‘melodic king’ of Pasay – did the unthinkable. Sampled after a Ne-Yo superhit of a single, “SO SICK OF SAD SONGS” was CK YG’s slyest and cleverest rap&b flip in recent memory.

CK YG had the gall to tickle our nostalgia to his own advantage. But I’d like to think he’s had enough of sick songs even reaching to the point that the flip is only used to elevate his emotive expression at a handy pace. “SO SICK OF SAD SONGS” is a gem that surpasses its predecessors who’ve sampled classic r&b songs without any unique spin to it. It’s a ‘comp shop’ classic reborn in the 2020s.
