PRAY FOR ME expands on RAAHiiM’s instinct for intimacy, reflection, and emotional honesty. The album flows through moments of tension, longing, and resolve, framing vulnerability as strength while balancing confession and confidence. “Slide4U (Hating)” exists within that emotional space.
On “Slide4U (Hating),” RAAHiiM leans into self-awareness, moving through wanting someone fully, jealousy, and emotions that remain unresolved but real. Karri brings a contrasting texture through smooth, dreamlike vocals that drift through the track, giving the record a hazy edge. A Bay Area singer, Karri first broke through with his track “3 AM in Oakland,” later earning recognition from Billboard as an R&B Rookie of the Month and drawing early support from artists like Drake.
Directed by DAVANÉ, the visualizer for “Slide4U (Hating)” unfolds like a story told through slides, revealing moments one frame at a time. Each image holds briefly, charged with attraction and friction, before giving way to the next. The pacing allows closeness and hesitation to surface in fragments, mirroring the song’s push-and-pull as the sequence unfolds.
“Slide4U (Hating)” fits seamlessly alongside RAAHiiM’s recent releases, including “WiiCKEDEST” featuring BEAM, a reggae-influenced R&B record tapping into his Jamaican roots, as well as earlier standouts like “Falling Off” and “Just Like Me.” After touring with Jessie Reyez, RAAHiiM continues to build momentum as both a performer and songwriter, with credits on records by Drake, Mariah Carey, and Dvsn.
“Slide4U (HATING)” is available now across all platforms. PRAY FOR ME arrives February 6.
