Lelo – How It Be [Video]
Lelo moves through “How It Be” with off-kilter Detroit energy, loose confidence, and a stripped-down official video.
Lelo keeps the pressure close to the ground on “How It Be,” moving through the record with the off-kilter calm that has made him one of Detroit’s more interesting young voices. Nothing here feels overly cleaned up. The track works through its tension in short bursts, with Lelo letting the beat bend around him instead of chasing a straight-line hook.
His delivery sits somewhere between detached and locked-in, which gives the song its pull. The flexes feel casual, the darker edges slip in without announcement, and the rhythm keeps shifting just enough to make the whole thing feel slightly unstable. That looseness is not accidental—it is where Lelo sounds most natural.
The official video follows that same clipped energy, keeping the focus on movement, mood, and presence rather than a heavy concept. After Mastiff : Pink Tiles and his “Big Dipper” single, “How It Be,” keeps Lelo in a sharp Detroit pocket while leaving the edges rough enough to matter.
