ADZii BOii, the hip-hop titan who is aware of precisely methods to carry the hammer down in each bar, delivered his most intimate blow with Promise. Blazing leagues away from his contemporaries, he brings a uncommon sense of vulnerability to the observe, laying all of his insecurities and idiosyncrasies naked whereas tenderly requesting acceptance within the moments which might be within the wake of perfection.
His Scottish vocals are a hanging juxtaposition to the polyphonic, playfully retro Afrobeat instrumentals within the bitter-sweet hip-hop and pop hybrid. All the experimentation and daring to face alone as an innovator with out falling in keeping with traits solely amplifies the sentiment of the lyrical underpinnings by sonically asking for understanding, even when you might want to uncover new vestiges of what you thought you already knew.
There’s no bravado right here—simply uncooked status, candour, and the chance to strengthen your empathy for anybody who falls exterior the psychological well being mould.
As an artist, ADZii BOii wears his temperamental streak and emotional depth like armour, and Promise proves nothing is off limits. With earlier popularity of ‘Let’s Go’ on Netflix’s Dash, and ‘Colors’ airing throughout BBC Radio Scotland’s Psychological Well being Consciousness Week, ADZii BOii’s bid to redefine Scottish rap isn’t wishful considering—it’s already in movement.
Promise is now obtainable to stream on all main platforms, together with Spotify.
