Zhero - Losing Our Mind is Fine (If You're Okay With It) [prod. Matthew Cyr]


Following the release of "Strawbridge" last month, Zhero once again links with producer Matthew Cyr for his latest drop, the captivatingly titled "Losing Our Mind is Fine (If You're Okay With It)". 

I'm absolutely loving the vibe of Zhero's work as of late, and I think it's safe to presume he's surrounding himself with the right people to keep the music progressing in the proper direction. It's different, but not in a "hey, look at me, I'm trying hard to be different" type of way. Rather, there's a fine balance of unapologetic realness and emotion that flaunt Zhero's authenticity - he has feelings and, thanks to the music, we get to experience, connect to, and relate to the young artist's feelings.  

The production and instrumentation throughout the record really sets the stage for the entire experience. As I play the track, I find myself getting lost in the vibes of the sonic backdrop, just sort of floating in the clouds. The production and the vocals both play such a vital role in the overall success of "Losing Our Mind is Fine" - neither takes the lead, as they flow together side by side allowing the listener to really journey and experience a complete musical experience. 

When I was able to pull myself out of the production to momentarily turn my full attention to Zhero's lyrics, my feels where like, whoa. I've always appreciated the "old soul" frequency I get from Zhero's music - dude may be young, but his ability to reflect on his experiences and thrive through them, while simultaneously sitting with and experiencing his emotions for all they are, is not something every individual here in the physical is able to successfully do. 

Not only does Zhero seem to do this, but he takes these lessons and experiences and flips them into beautiful music. 

Lose your mind with Zhero below.

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's...

Grieves - "Let It Through" (Video)

In September, Grieves liberated new music for the first time since releasing his  Running Wild album in 2017 and now the Rhymesayers Entertainment artist comes through with the official visual treatment for "Let It Through". The single denotes both the artistic range of Grieves and the personal growth and self-discovery the wordsmith has been experiencing over the course of his journey here in the physical. Packed with relaxed melodies and a calmly delivered labyrinth of wordplay, the sentimental "Let It Through" is presented with a composed, collected and self-aware delivery. Grieves is experiencing a state of acceptance, finding peace with what is rather than attempting to swim against the current of life.  Throughout the record, one gets a sense that Grieves is learning from - and growing through - the chaos that has encapsulated and shaped his life. It's vital to recognize the importance of documenting the destruction if one desires to showcase the ...

Tobe Nwigwe - "Ode To Fat" (feat. David Michael Wyatt) [prod. LaNell Grant] (Video)

Love, of course, is not an easy road to travel. But, when the love is real and when the love is divine, all the challenges, hardships and trials prove to be worth it. Real love - true love - always prevails. As the visual descends from the Heavens, Tobe Nwigwe begins the dulcet delivery of his prose. With a stoic demeanor, he stands with his Queen, as an enchanting dance installment takes place in the field upon which they stand. Nwigwe chronicles the journey that is his soul connection with Fat while the camera pans out. With "Ode To Fat", Tobe Nwigwe reveals the blessing from God that is the pregnancy of his wife. And this, he states, is "the most genuine form of happiness [he's] felt." From there, the latest #getTWISTEDsundays release is like an angelic embrace from the parents-to-be, the words of Nwigwe containing such an incomparable purity and bliss that it's near impossible not to catch goosebumps from this release. Saturated with artistic exp...
