You know, last night I finally finished The Office, it was really awesome and touching and I already feel kinda nostalgic. And somehow this piece reminded me of it.

Amplified. is back with another fine example of the soulful kind of hip hop I absolutely adore and this one is about "the deeper meanings of relationships, and how they're applicable in everyday life - versus the ambiguous and poetic ways that we often associate or define the word and meaning of love".

Logic-like flow, topped up by warm keys and nice drum groove, and just heartfelt singing. He elaborates:

"Real Love" is the expression of understanding and being honest with those around you so that we can all live better lives. I wanted to do this in classic Hip-Hop fashion, boom-bap drums, conscious bars, and being smooth over the beat with some modern 90s R&B style singing.
