STREAM/DOWNLOAD: BLACKSMITH – PRICE OF LOVE
With a thirst for new, exciting sounds and his drive for both his own evolution as an artist, and the evolution of hip hop as a movement, ‘Price of Love’ makes for a dream collaboration for Blacksmith as he explains “This track features one of my favourite artists to ever come out of the U.K Skinnyman and is produced by one of my favourite producers out of New York Statik Selektah, getting them both on board for this single is a real dream into reality moment.”
Delivering conscious lyricism with an introspective hue, the track sits upon a key led beat that mellowly draws in a deep, soulful sample which reinforces the message of the track, “what is the Price of Love?”. In his own words, Blacksmith explains: “Price Of Love as a song talks about the amount of work that goes into trying to make anything you love or are passionate about work, even when it feels like it wonʼt. Whether that be chasing dreams and all the uncertainty that comes with the highs and low, .to working on relationships with others or even internal work with yourself – what are you willing to do to live the life you would love?”
Adding to an extensive back catalogue, including his most recent project ‘Less Ego More Soul’ which featured the EARMILK favourite ‘Everything Is Blue’, Blacksmith continues his lyrical quest to lyrically unravel everyday thoughts and feelings in a poetic, intelligent, yet witty way. With emotion being a golden thread that sews his tracks together, and the track being instantly snapped up by hip hop royalty Shortee Blitz & MK for their flagship show on Kiss FM, ‘Price of Love’ is a successful and noteworthy inclusion to his work past and present.
