Dig this video. Dig this song.
The bay area rapper from Oakland, CA known as, MusicByKO, (a.k.a., Khari Owens) has gripped and grinded his way to several hundred thousand streams on his SoundCloud page; all with the intention of building a meaningful and lasting connection with his fan-base through the creation and skilled delivery of accessible lyrical content.
His recorded work includes 2016’s I’ll Wait, 2017’s Soul Search Engine, Gems & Jewels, and much more. All of that effort has informed his latest video-single, Gotta Go.
Opening on KO’s Nissan, the video features a simple single-camera take with no breaks. The music kicks in as he opens his trunk and gets comfortable—waiting to hustle of few copies of his latest music before calling it a day.
“WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR IT?”
A tastefully minimal kick, snare, and high-hat; a jazzy, chilled-out bass-line; and a breezy lay-back vocal background all support a primal bit of game-telling, urban prose…
“Drop my top, share my jewels
Out the window, heavy tunes
Thinkin’ of prolific fate
And what it might take…”
WHOSE LOVECHILD…?
Jermaine Dupri-esque vocal timbre with a Dungeon Family-style production…
