This weekend was an absolute musical extravaganza! There was so much incredible music to dive into that it took me a while to sift through and pick my top favorites. You know how it is when you stumble upon a song that’s just so good that you can’t resist hitting that replay button over and over again. Well, that’s exactly what happened to me.
Among the plethora of releases, I stumbled upon a track by the up-and-coming artist – Priesst, and let me tell you, it’s been on constant rotation in my playlist. The song, titled ‘Upcoming (Check on Me),’ is an absolute delight to the ears. If you’re already familiar with Priesst’s work, you’ll undoubtedly agree with me that he’s a real wordsmith when it comes to his lyrical capability. He consistently hits the mark with his verses and adlibs.
‘Upcoming (Check on Me)’ probes into the struggles and challenges that emerging artists face in the music industry. Priesst’s lyrics capture the emotion and pain that these budding talents often endure on their journey to stardom. In his own words, “If na one big artist do this song you go feel am pass, but as the boy na upcoming you go see am pass’, check on me – make i no start to colo somebody check on me” These words resonate with anyone who’s ever pursued a dream against the odds.
Personally, I’m one of those believers in Priesst’s talent, and I think he’s got a bright future ahead. If you haven’t had the chance to listen to ‘Upcoming’ yet, I urge you to do so right away.
