Focused – Grind Sublime [Music Video]

Tags

2018, artist, Canada, Focused, Grind Sublime, Hip-Hop, Music, Music Video, Musician, Single, Toronto

Focused is a Toronto politically & socially engaged rapper.
Blending in a mix of Rap, Hip-hop and low-fi.
Grind Sublime is taken off from the album The Bad Meat LP which was released in 2017.
Details about the artist and song
Focused, testifying of the artist’s personal work drive, has been advocating up for change and deeper engagement in the rap scene since 1999. A smooth, but surprising and motivating sound that questions issues of relevance in today’s political and social climate, Focused’s unique approach to 90s rap and low fi has always stayed current and in constant evolution through each new project. “The rapper, in a way, is like the street reporter”. Songwriter, vocalist and producer, the goal has always been to stay focused on the music, and how its vibrations can take you out of the five-sense world we live in.
Check out his music video.
