With his new single, Konceptconveys a powerful message about staying positive and “Strong.” The track was produced by KIMOXAVI‘s Ray Hill.
The chill, but impactful vibe and lyrics dig into Koncept speaking that even while having success, laughs and fun, there are still challenges to face along the way that we have to fight through. Some aren’t always present on the outside to others. He lets us know to stay positive and “Strong” and “we gon’ be alright.”
“Yeah I’m out in Asia making money now, but Gram’s back at home having lung problems.” “Strong is finding patience, balance and peace. ”
Release Date: March 16, 2019 Type: Single Presented by Champagne Konny, Inc.
Hiphop duo KIMOXAVI have released their second EP ‘Hold Up’ as well as the title track’s music video of the same name.
KIMOXAVI are producer/rapper Ray Hill and rapper Fatal. The two debuted in February with the mini album ‘27%‘.
With Ray Hill at the center of the production process of their second EP ‘Hold Up‘, KIMOXAVI is showing that they are self-sufficient by writing, composing, recording, mixing, and mastering their own music, proving that they are truly self-made.
In February, the duo went to London to shoot the music video of their title track ‘Hold Up’ with the support of a local video director and staff. The duo’s goal was to spread a powerful and inspiring message on the web against racism. Their campaign is called “#flashlightchallenge” and says that “in the dark we’re all the same,” “stand up against racism.” They also did a homage to Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Where Is the Love?’ music video by going all around London to distribute #flashlightchallenge flyers. More information about the campaign can be found on their official website.
