The banger “Empire Thoughts” is the first single off of the debut album “Belonging” which is set to be dropped this spring. In this certified and deservedly acclaimed hit track, he featured the rap legend himself DNA who killed it as well in his verse, and upcoming vocal queen Penelope who gives this track the melodic gist and glamour with her smoothly polished and pure vocals influential on the catchy and memorably moving chorus. The track is produced by in house producer M.G. Behind the stunningly placed deep-phased bass, the banging beats, the bomb bar drops and the vocal decorations is a deep message of determination – not settling for less, going all in and surrounding yourself with people that matter and push you to your limits. This is some lyrical education packaged nicely with thrill and frills to keep you hooked from the first note all the way to the last one.
DNA delivers like Pablo on the first verse, lyrically assassinating and slaying those beats with his heavy bars showcasing his experience in the game when it comes to lyrical ability. Penelope who is always accompanying in the background with her flashy female vocals takes center stage and offers a listener something to hold on to as she passionately delivers the chorus “These are my empire thoughts” alluringly; commanding a listener’s attention like a queen commands her subjects’!
MasterRhymez makes a grand entrance through the deep door and gives an introspective performance diving into the melodic ocean like a shark and grabbing those flows with his sharp lyricism and tearing them apart ruthlessly before serving them up for dinner! His drip is hard and his mystical and confident boastful lyricism comes out in his flows “It’s in my DNA to do this, peep my portfolio. Better, bruise and cripple more mics than polio…” – this is truly one hot mess they made right here. You will be obliged to have this on loop as you try to get much of it as possible and somehow you still can’t get enough!
The music video is reminiscent of the underground hip-hop of the 90s and is a black and white affair that focuses on the crafting of the track, the booth scenes, and MasterRyhmez and crew listening in and vibing to the music forming a scene in itself to behold. The video was shot by Ha-Mez, known for his theatric tone setting with videos. It has so far over 2.7 K views and the numbers are growing huge by the day.
