It would be hard to select a few people out of the deep ocean of music as our favourites. This is because the music industry all across the world has opened doors of multiple opportunities for many talented people who have gone ahead and made a special place for themselves in the hearts of music lovers. Especially, youngsters have come forward to display what they truly possess and take the music industry by storm. The culture of rap is also something that has attracted the attention of many music connoisseurs and lovers over the years, resulting in the debut of some incredible rap and musical artists. The United Kingdom and mainly the community in South London is known as the breeding ground of rap. One such youngster who came, saw and conquered the world of rap as well as rock and carved his own niche in the vast music industry of the UK is Kwazi Cort.
Many people have their own reason towards choosing a particular career or a way of life; for Cort, he found his true calling and passion in music as his way to escape from the many grim and harsh realities of life, that he faced as a kid that was entirely surrounded by negative influences and tragedy incidences that made him lose his childhood friends due to the negative lifestyle of the community including violence, drugs, etc.
It was the huge and profound impact that his street life and peers had on him, that he turned to music to find his peace. After realizing his true calling in music, he drew inspiration from many legends in the industry, like Jay-Z for his business mentality, and Tupac for his passion. As his love for music grew deeper, he decided to dissect the craft into its raw form and mastered it completely. While in the process, he even discovered the genius of Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd during his trip to Camden.
He depicts the harsh realities of his life through his magical power of music and sounds that he creates that impacts people on a much deeper level, connect with their chords and arouses the most profound emotions in them. This journey of his took him to pioneer his own unique genre called ‘GROCK’, which is a beautiful amalgamation of grim rap flows and rock elements. This genre of his is greatly influenced by the melodic sounds that are identical to the Pan-African movement.
His debut track “Trapstar” five years ago, had taken the music industry by storm and this year, Cort came up with the sequel to the track called “Trapstar II”, which has enhanced the original track with funky guitar licks and his soulful vocals. The track has already proved Cort’s expertise in rap-rock fusion, making him one of a kind musical artist.
The video takes audiences into deep space backdrop, where Cort acts as an astronaut who is on a lonely intergalactic journey into the interstellar space. The track displays the passion and the love Cort has for the rap and rock genre of music. His hustler mentality and his determination to make it big in the industry, today has made him the new age Kanye West, whom Cort has always admired and taken inspiration from in the hip hop space.
Looking at the buzz his new song Trapstar II has been creating amongst many other tracks that he has made so far, one can say that Kwazi Cort is ready for world domination in Rock ‘N’ Rap, leading ahead many with a positive approach and unique perspective.
