Conscious rapper Lil Nate announces his forthcoming EP ‘Hopes And Dreams’, and reveals the video to his lead single ‘200mg’, a track that pays homage to the golden era of Hip Hop.
‘Hopes and Dreams’ is an oral illustration of the ups and downs of street life and living on the poverty line. Through descriptive lyricism and smooth delivery, he portrays a world that may be full of struggles but stands strong through hope and perseverance. The lead single ‘200mg’ epitomises this sentiment. Through an elevating soul sample and ambitious lyrics, Lil Nate touches on his struggles faced growing up and his drive to succeed, not only in the music industry but also as a father.
Speaking on the project Nate says “There’s always gonna be people happy to see you fall rather than rise! But no matter how difficult or deep life can be, you just gotta keep moving forward making sure you’re heading in the right direction with good intentions.”
Lil Nate is a Brixton-born, Irish-raised artist who takes inspiration from G‑Funk, Boom Bap, Afro-Beat, and Reggae. His lyrics delve into his upbringing, family values, and unwavering drive, which when paired with his unique cadence and laid-back flow, is an addictive listen.
