Track of the Week: Don't Let Them See You Cry

German born, Nigerian raised and South London based Strandz is the latest rap talent to emerge from the depths of the underground. 

The second release of ’22 from the young rapper, following slick cut 4Eva Timeless, Strandz’ new single Don’t Let Them See You Cry sees the artist tap into his love for old school Hip Hop with the help of producers The Lex1k Boys. The vibe that Strandz emits isn’t dissimilar to many of the High Focus heads like Coops and the later discography of Ocean Wisdom, with Strandz’ charismatic and expressive vocal putting a fresh and melodic spin on a classic UK  sound.

Strandz delivers his vivid and hard hitting lyricism with nonchalance and robustness, drawing on a wide array of influence, both in terms of his musical homage and his interesting upbringing. The accompanying video was premiered on GRM Daily, highlighting Strandz legitimate status and hard working outlook. 

An exciting prospect who is bound to progress in craft and esteem, don’t sleep on Strandz!
