Artimes Prime shares official music video for ‘Grab A Corona’

Philly-based emcee ARTIMES PRIME has a sound with DNA that can be traced from Logic and J Cole, to Immortal Technique and Mike Shinoda. Throughout his career, Prime has fused disparate sounds to perfection, while using his inventive flows to tell personal stories of self-discovery and its importance to the social fabric of the world around him.

On Beer & Cookies, Prime’s third full-length album released last month, the emcee pushes his limits by fusing Pop and classic, Boom-Bap Hip-Hop. The album’s title reflects the audacious fusion of these two genres, an almost oxymoronic pairing held together by producer Digital Crates over the course of the album’s twelve tracks. On the first day of March, Prime shares the music video for ‘Grab A Corona’, an album standout that riffs on the complex issues that we’ve faced since the global coronavirus pandemic.

“This was written during the pandemic. I noticed all the different media voices from different levels telling me all kinds of different things, and I felt confused as well as conflicted. I imagined others felt this way as well so I wrote a song that speaks to both sides, and to not be afford of deaths but rather be conscious and intentional with how you live life. The song has a boombap conscious feel.” – Artimes Prime

Song of the Day: Gucci – Sneakbo (ft. Lyco, Ivorian Doll & 2Face)

South London’s SNEAKBO teams up with Lyco, Ivorian Doll and Two Face for their latest collaborative single ‘Gucci’.

A completely organic track that happened naturally when the artists were together in Birmingham where Sneakbo linked up with Lyco and Ivorian Doll for the first time. The chemistry was so special, they decided to lay down a demo and this was the end result recorded on the first go. Two Face was in the same building and dropped into the session and ended up recording the last verse.

Lyco kicks the track off with a melodic hook, whilst Sneakbo takes the lead verse bringing his wavy vibes and lyrics to the track. Ivorian Doll steps in after Sneakbo showcasing her lyrical flow and singing skills and Two Face brings the greasy drill bars for a rap track with a hint of Afrobeats.

The video matches the artists lyrics showing the high life with a private jet, designer clothes and private limos.

Gucci is out now across various music platforms. Check out the track and visuals below…
