On their latest release, "With God", Takes a Village Music delivers verses that feel like a motivational speech, as we can hear the hunger and determination in every line.
Takes a Village Music is a Toronto-based collective whose mission is to support, develop, and create opportunities for local musicians and creatives. "With God" sounds like the soundtrack that continuously pushes one towards their dreams. Throughout their verses, LOWERCASE and SELF trade bars that tastefully capture the moment an underdog stops waiting and starts taking. Their performance sounds raw and confident while being complemented by a soulful, laid-back instrumental embellished by glittery pianos and slick drums. I can't neglect to mention how the catchy chorus reminds me of the golden era of hip hop, particularly Black Star.
"The song balances introspection with bravado, pairing gritty realism with explosive confidence. It’s the sound of someone who’s done the work in the dark and is finally ready to stand out", shares Takes a Village Music.
