James Gatzby – “Broke Isn’t Funny”

Uprising rapper/songwriter James Gatzby reminds us that being “Broke Isn’t Funny” in his new release. The track is a mix of humour and real-time issues that dwell on the financial downturn that everyone faces now and then. Over a slick guitar-driven backdrop, James takes us through the ups and downs of trying to balance a healthy life with proper financial backing by working hard. The song is accompanied by a visual that follows James’ homeless character as he wanders around the inner city looking for what to live on until he eventually gets his comeuppance and finds success. It’s a stark reminder that poverty is quite expensive.

The visual is quite stylish and makes use of performance shots of both artists, cut scenes and subtle transitions and effects that capture the chemistry between the two.

The song swerves from seductive calms to energetic blasts, mimicking Kendrick’s lyrical journey of confident flirtation. The accompanying visuals bring the fun-filled track to life with its scenic shots of the city and shots of Ellison as he does his thing.

Tyte x Wizz Havinn – “Ask Around”.

Florida native Tyte teams up with Wizz Havinn for the upbeat street banger titled “Ask Around”. The title is a testament to Tyte’s street credibility as he reminds us that he is who he says he is. His longtime collaborator Wizz Havinn also joins the fray with his laid-back Southern drawl.

The song is bolstered by an immensely entertaining clip that is shot by frequent Slip N Slide collaborator Counterpoint 2.0. The visual is full of eye-catching elements that put you right in the middle of the action: the boisterous crowds and the sidewalk dancers, the tail lights and the trap houses, the hot city streets and the twilight skies. But it’s the rappers who shake this bottle up and make it fizz. Tyte always seems to be coming toward the camera, sometimes through the haze, sometimes in the vanguard of a group of restless young men, and sometimes on his own. He’s neither menacing nor particularly welcoming. He’s just there, irresistible and confident, a rude fact, the man of the hour, and an emerging artist we’ll be hearing from for a long time.
