3vd shares progressive new visual for “Man on a Mission”

Cleveland artist 3vd has dropped off his latest release, titled “Man on a Mission”. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and its surrounding areas, 3vd grew up in a house with five other siblings. He began writing when he was only 8 years old and incorporates elements of Pop and R&B into his music to create a unique and timeless sound. In addition to writing and performing music, 3vd produces and engineers, something that sets him apart from other rappers his age.

“Man on a Mission” is a captivating release that follows up his engaging recent singles like “Euphoria” and “CUTTHROAT!”, and it displays the edgy, raw sound that made “CUTTHROAT!” a banger, but takes things on a futuristic path with spacey synths and progressive production choices. Underscored by a heavy rhythm section, 3vd delivers razor sharp flows in a confident delivery that absorbs the listener’s attention from the get-go.

The video, shot by @ZenenSaneshige, utilizes raw, nocturnal shots with fast-paced editing that capture the song’s potent energy. Featuring a commanding performance from 3vd, the video makes for a cohesive, engaging accompaniment to the song.

Check out the video for “Man on a Mission” here and further familiarize yourself with Cleveland’s 3vd. It’s a poignant, energizing track and visual that eschews traditional sonics for a futuristic take on hip-hop with rage and noise undertones.
