Ah, the thrill of discovering talented artists and tracks which abound in authenticity, attitude and emotional depth.

Today’s gem is a hip hop track by two talented Denver-based rappers and producers - Jelie and Ray Lyle. Their latest collaboration -  “Light Bender”, is a classic boom bap, which sets up the perfect emotional tone for their touching vocals and Jelie’s tight bars. 

Jelie slays the instrumental with perfect penmanship and it’s hard not to appreciate her skill. In addition to the well-crafted verses, the melodicism of the chorus, in which Ray Lyle contributes vocally, makes the track rich in emotional nuances. Here is what the artists share:

The single is a reminder to anyone who is facing an uphill battle to never give up and to always remember why they started the journey. It’s a single for anyone to learn that they can take the steps to shape their future and re-write their own story. No matter the situation and no matter who they are.

In addition to the track, they released a video, which you can watch below:
