If there’s one thing you should know about Kareem Rahma, it’s that he’s one of the most creative minds you’ll come across. Not only does he craft forward-thinking music — like his recent EP with Tiny Gun, No Worries If Not — but he’s also a comedian. His viral series Subway Takes has blown up online, showcasing just how talented and versatile Rahma really is.

This EP is something special. It kicks off with a bang thanks to the hypnotic intro, “Baby I Could Never Win.” The chorus repeats the title over and over, but it’s backed by this killer guitar riff that makes the track totally entrancing. That energy seamlessly leads into the nostalgic title track, “No Worries If Not,” where Rahma’s raw, off-kilter vocals highlight the honest, unfiltered nature of his songwriting. At this point, I can’t help but think how perfect these songs would be for a live show — easy to sing along and dance to.

“Something About You” is full of bass lines that feel otherworldly. The vocal layers in the chorus add texture that makes you want to jump around. Honestly, I might be jumping around while I write this. Then there’s “Time,” a slower track that dives deep into themes of love, with clever wordplay about time itself. The balance of guitars and keys here creates such a beautiful vibe, especially with the build-up to the drop about two minutes in.

Sadly, the project has to end at some point, but it closes with the hilarious “Outro (Ginger Ale),” an interlude about a guy rinsing his hands with soda. This project isn’t about chasing trends or going viral — it’s about making timeless music that genuinely pushes the art form forward.
