I Know
Grafting, grinding and shifting gears, the latest single ‘I know’ by T.Solo works through the sacrifices necessary to break into music. Competing with the constant influx of new music, the singer-rapper from North West London tells the story about having to learn lessons on his own,
“They don’t even teach this part of life”
he raps. The track’s tone is set from the offset with the voice of T.Solo speaking his truth.
“I never took no shortcuts,”
he warns as the infectious trap beat produced by Chris Xylo in collaboration with Truth fades in. A teaser of the video shows the streets of London late at night, flickering between the blocks in ends and the deserted city centre in Oxford Circus. This new single comes straight after his ‘Vroom freestyle’ over the Murda Beatz production released earlier this month. The contrast between these back-to-back releases demonstrates T.Solo’s versatility as an artist who can move from street rapping to sweet boy vocals without breaking a sweat. His unrelenting work-rate tells us that the rapper is hungry and ready to make room for himself in the scene.
