North-London’s finest Chri$DaPrince smiles back at his adversities across the new EP BLACK IS BLACK.
The Congolese-born musician has released an exhilarating album that goes beyond any expectation of modern UK rap, showcasing a remarkable lyrical genius that conveys the struggles and hazards of a young Black creative in London. The EP kicks off with “HOW LOVE HURTS,” a beautiful tune with spacey samples and crisp percussion textures over which his conscious raps address poetic justice upon rising above previous hardship and the arduous path towards self-recognition.
However, on tracks like “DREAMERS DREAM,” “GOD IS GANGSTA,” and “MINE’S IS OURS,” Chri$DaPrince seems at his most at ease. Stories of exciting development, optimism, and fortitude in the face of the challenges faced by a rising Black artist. Chri$’s pervasive impact on the streets and visionary conviction are undeniable indicators of a rising artist; he is responsible for fueling some of the most potent and revolutionary bars to emerge from the underground limelight.
