BLACK PEN

(FEAT. RYAN OAKES)

IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE LATEST RELEASE AND THIRD SINGLE OFF Z.'S PROJECT "SCORCHED," IT'S JUST AS IMPORTANT TO SEE THE COVER ART AS IT IS TO HEAR THE FULL TRACK.

WHAT WE HEAR ARE CLEVER BARS PARTNERED WITH A COCKY CADENCE THAT'S BORDERLINE ARROGANT (WITHOUT CROSSING THE LINE). WHAT WE SEE, HOWEVER, IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ARTIST SEES WHILE PAINTING HIS PICTURE: LINES OF RHYMES MADE UP OF WORDS SCRIBBLED BY A BLACK PEN ON ONCE BLANK PAGES.

​

THE CONTRAST OF THE TWO IS THE ESSENTIAL SOTRY HERE; WHILE THE KID CONTINUES TO PROGRESS AS A LEGITIMATE EMCEE, THE SOUNDS THAT MAKE THE SUCCESS ALL STARTED WITH BLACK INK..

PREMONITION

PREMONITION

WE ALL HAVE HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS THAT AREN'T NECESSARILY SHARED WITH ANYONE. WHILE SOME MAY DAY DREAM, Z. SMITH TELLS OF VISIONS THAT SEEM TO BE TOO REAL TO DENY.

A PREMONITION IS DEFINED AS "ANTICIPATION OF AN EVENT WITHOUT CONSCIOUS REASON," AND THE EVENTS DESCRIBED RANGING FROM BRIGHT FLASHING LIGHTS, LARGE CROWDS, AND A DEMAND FOR ENTERTAINMENT FIT THIS DEFINITION ALL TOO WELL.   

ALTHOUGH THESE THINGS MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED YET, THE CINCINNATI-TURNED-NASHVILLE RAPPER APPEARS TO BE SPEAKING THEM INTO EXISTENCE..

HADES IS MORE THAN JUST THE FIRST SINGLE OFF OF A BRAND NEW Z. SMITH ALBUM; IT’S THE BEGINNING OF A BRAND NEW CHAPTER FOR THE NASHVILLE RAPPER.

A DARKER CORNER TURNED, SMITH USES HADES TO ADDRESS THE SINK-OR-SWIM MENTALITY MANY FACE WHO PURSUE A DREAM AND THE SACRIFICE NEEDED TO ACHIEVE IT.

BRUTALLY HONEST LYRICS, CONFIDENT CADENCE, AND A DON’T GIVE A F*** MENTALITY COMBINE TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT HIS STRIDE HAS BEEN FOUND..
