Thanks to an erratic, bass heavy beat, an off the rails flow similar in vein to rappers such as Vince Staples and J.I.D., and an infectious hook that easily gets stuck in the brain, “Prozac” is an instantly memorable cut that previews what Charles X has in store for his upcoming album EID2, which will be released in 2019.
