Profiiit - Sodapop
'Sodapop' is an immersive and atmospheric penultimate track from Profiiit's newest album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22, Dead Poet Society).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.
Megan Linford - Only You
DIY artist Megan Linford taking on the DIY videos at home during the Lockdown. Only You is the 2nd track from Isolation Tapes released in December 2020. This song always felt to me like a love note to someone. Words that have waited too long to come out and you just can't wait any longer. I used this concept of writing that love note to inspire the visuals for this track!
