Just Call Me Veto recently released his Give Me My Flowers EP as a new signee under Scotty ATL’s label Tha Cool Club. The EP is presented by Veto’s brand Self Driven LLC as well. The 6-song project begins with the title track on which Veto proclaims he’s ready for his “flowers” – one may presume he means rewards for his hard work and dedication.
Veto has a known reputation for his strong performances in Atlanta. He has been performing in the area for years. Over the last year, Veto has kept his game up with back-to-back single releases including the song and video “One of Dem Ones” featuring Neno Calvin and “Bunny Hop” feat. White Cross. Taking it back in history, Veto was a featured guest rapper on Rich Homie Quan’s “Where Were You” (a video Veto directed).
As he enters a new era in his career, Veto dives deep into his psyche to give listeners a better understanding of who he is, where he’s come from, and the lessons learned along the way. As one might expect from a Cool Club release, the project is vibey and introspective with the right balance of fun and expert lyricism.
If you want something to hype you up on the way to the club, “Pick It Up” will get you right. The real club banger though is “Whew.” “Whew” is for the real G’s.
Veto even gets screwed up on “Having Motion” feat. TATE228 where he switches to a southern drawl that sounds both true Atlanta and Texas-worthy at the same time. The first half of the EP he maintains a faster lyrical pace with quick wit and a slick tongue, but on “Having Motion” he gets slow and smooth with it.
The album concludes with “My Story” featuring Scotty ATL + the “Break These Chains” interlude with Auni Saxton. “My Story” is a bar-by-bar recap of pains and losses Veto has experienced due to life experiences and “mistakes made on the road to wealth.” His story is echoed by Scotty’s reflections on his own hardships, triumphs, and spiritual development. Scotty recalls what he was going through when he heard Bankroll passed away – Scotty was on stage at the time. The stories are moving, to say the least, and give depth and authentic meaning to Give Me My Flowers.
Concluding by adding a feminine touch on “Break These Chains” with the sultry songstress Auni Saxton, Give Me My Flowers is a well-rounded project with minimal filler.
In his Instagram posts Veto expresses, “I love the hustle. I love the grind, that’s why I haven’t stopped grinding since I started making music. I had a lot of fun recording this 2-part project and I’m excited to release this body of work…this is a dope body of work…big s/o to the team for the support! I appreciate all the support and love I’m receiving.”
