Dark fuckin' things have been rising out of the world of Young Lavi$h recently; his rhyming structure has become dank and melancholic as of late, and it shows in the type of productions he's been choosing to spit over, depressed ambient waves of eerie panning wafting over a sub-bass that provides that ever-so-crucial saunter that personally make or break his tracks for me.
All of this leads his listeners to find their story-teller as a young man lost in his own thoughts; subtly disenchanted with the finer things and aspiration that most rappers tend to focus on during their underground climb to notoriety.
All of this speaks to his attitude towards the grand scheme of music, to make tracks that people want to hear, as opposed to making tracks that A&R want to hear; it's a attitude of fierce DIY ethic (do it yourself... although I sincerely hope everyone knew that acronym already) that, while hasn't been lauded to the height this lyricist is putting it at in this scene, has quietly been the backbone of what we do and why we do it for a while now.
Because do I get get paid for writing this blog? No, of course not. Do my posts on other larger blogs get more attention? Sure, but do most of these artists getting paid to make music? nope, and while most people outside of the scene might think that we're all just waiting to "make it big" or w.e, Lavi$h seems to be striving to bring up a different point, maybe we make music for a reason beyond this...
What that reason is? lol fuck if I know; but this kid seems to be pretty close to his own personal answer through what his songs seem to be reaching for, so I would keep an ear to upcoming mixtape 'Peace' if I were you; those distance monologues wafting through the waves of darkness may have something deeper to them.
