Focus The Truth - Survivor's Guilt [Music Video Review] June 14, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious “Powerful! Both in the immediacy of the video, and in the vocal flow that comes straight at you. Lyrically, the track is strong truth delivered with passion and verve. An old school beat backs the vocal flow and I especially like that retro 70’s flair added into the musical layer. The words and lyrics and overall vibe is contemporary, but the layers add a depth to the history of the systemic racism, generations in the building. The writing and performance is an intelligent thought provoking response and counter statement.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
Focus The Truth - Pay to Play feat. Vo & Elle Simone [Music Video Review] February 25, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Hip-Hop, Conscious Rating: 4 out of 5 “Exactly as the name applies, Focus The Truth puts the spotlight directly on the truth with this track. Riding a steady old school beat, the lyrics unfurl with a chill, direct style that is slow enough for the impact to hit home, but paced enough to hold your focus. The chorus brings a softness that is gripping and all of the voices within this single deliver emotion and authenticity. Well-written lyrics run throughout.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
