Spirit, aka Na’eem Abdur-Rahman, is a rap artist hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio (USA).
He discovered his love for music at an early age: as a kid, he’d been dreaming of pursuing a career in classical music, but his family’s low income couldn’t support the lessons he needed to pursue his passion.
Spirit quickly turned to rap, and ever since the tender age of 15, he managed to use his voice to inspire and help his listeners on a deeper spiritual level. The artist puts his heart and soul into his music, and aims to uplift people with his touching lyricism and composition. Spirit makes music that is striking for its outstanding meanings, punchy grooves and gripping lyrics. His voice is seamless and organic, combining his unique musical background with unprecedented charisma and a distinctive vocal approach that echoes the works of some of the best rappers of our time, and far beyond.
What makes this song Hardship such an awesome song is it’s energy and it being highly relatable.
Spirit talks to people who’ve never really had much growing up and also talks to those who’ve also had much. He says “You was on a soft little boat, not a hardship”. This funny little punchline implies that he’s had it bad and you may not understand the tribulations he has had to go through.
This is a perfect song to get wild and vibe to. The beat is very heavy and punchy. Spirit doesn’t have any explicit lyrics in this single either so this is friendly to all ears.
