Profiiit - Aliyah's Prayer
Aliyah's Prayer is a laid-back and charming interlude after the powerful and impactful opening track 'Betty Boo' for his latest album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22). The track doesn't feature Profiiit's rapping, but instead features his indulgent and inspired talent for pacing and planning out the tempo of an album.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.

Just keep your heads down and they’ll feed you the noise. (Sign on) Why do we pay for a hollow joy? Why do we stick to screens and destroy? Dead! (I’m dead!) This is life locked in my head, This is the existential dread, I’m dreaming. Dead! (I’m dead!) I think this has to be the end, Done with pressure, Done with friends, I’m screaming.
