Song of the Day: Breathe – Incisive
Today’s song is Breathe by INCISIVE.
If you’re not familiar with this smooth artist, let me give you a quick introduction: over the years, the London rapper has worked with the likes of Reggae musician JULIAN MARLEY, West London singer-songwriter and producer SHAKKA and rapper YJ in his track Everythings Alright.
He’s known for effortlessly blending elements of soul and R&B, while maintaining a homegrown style of rapping. The contrast of the two makes a unique sound which received heavy rotation on BET, MTV and Choice FM.
Produced by JNuro, Breathe reflects obstacles in life. The one shot video brings this concept to life, showing the slick emcee trying to get to a simple destination but being faced with a number of obstacles and situations, turning what should be a simple journey into pure drama! Did he reach his destination? Well you have a check the video to find out!
