Rapper Lute details his personal hardships in new music video for “Life”
“Sometimes life gets crazy. Sometimes I don’t know up from down.”
Rapper Lute gifts his fans on his birthday by dropping his latest single “Life.” In this song, Lute reflects and celebrates as he describes the pressures from those around him, the rap game, and most importantly, himself. The string accompaniment on the production from Lute provides a perfect backdrop for the introspective lyrics and harmonies from Tiera Beverly on the hook. While addressing his messages of self-growth and perseverance to his daughter, Lute is also talking to himself to make sure he practices what he preaches.
The video, directed by Alexander Hall for Haus Elephi, features three generations of his family as well as the recent headlines regarding the protests in the streets and Covid-19. He also dedicates the song and video to those killed on June 21, 2020 on Beatties Ford Road in North Carolina as well as his cousin Marcus Okoye Withers.
Lute has been busy releasing his episodic Gold Mouf Chronicles which features his single “GED (Gettin Every Dolla)” as its opening theme. The 2020 single has become a fan favorite with the music video amassing over 1.8 million views on YouTube. Following its release, Lute stunned fans with a halftime performance during the Hornets vs. Rockets showdown at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2019, the Charlotte rapper teamed up with label head J. Cole, and DaBaby for the track, “Under the Sun,” which was featured on the Grammy-nominated RIAA certified Platinum Dreamville album Revenge of the Dreamers III. With the impressive pace Lute is growing at, fans excitedly wait for what’s next.
