Profiiit - Red Baron

This instrumental, 'Red Baron' is the final track on Profiiit's excellent new album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22, Dead Poet Society). It samples Thee Sacred Souls' track 'Will I See You Again' throughout.Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the East Coast US underground rap scene. His style cannot be simply defined in terms of genres due to his insatiable need to constantly move and push his sound to new levels, however influences include J. Cole, Kanye West, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar and the late XXXTENTACION. Something Profiiit has in common with all of these inspirations is a long endeavour for greatness.
