Cold Summer

I created the cover art, Audio Visializer, and copywrite for this single release.

Copywrite:

Cold Summer is a song of duality.

At it's heart, Cold Summer is exactly as it's name alludes. It is the expectation of warmth subverted, only to be met with the cold. The difference between bitches and hoes, and the story leading up to the revelation of this new understanding, these are the two stories told across these 2 minutes. The title serves to underscore the mood of the song, what going through something like this can feel like. What it's like to be stuck in a cold summer.

While it's commonly accepted that "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks" I posit an opposing stance, highlighting the separate characteristics of each. I often seek to offer enlightenment and to spread knowledge, however on 'Cold Summer' I believe the simplistic approach was the most prudent move I could've made. Instead of my usual run on sentence style of Rap I opted to use more emotionally charged language, that coupled with the mood, melodic cadence, eerily haunting vocals, and overall vibe of the track serves to sufficiently paint the mental picture I desired to convey.
