Kick 5000 paints a cinematic street tale with “m.b.d”

Close your eyes and listen to “m.b.d” by Kick 5000 and you’d swear an urban crime thriller was happening down the street. In a cinematic and sharp storytelling fashion, “m.b.d” becomes an audio movie, backdrop set against the flashing lights and dangerous fast pace of the street world. The energy is electric from the opening bars. The track conveys the shine of nightlife and the pressure that comes from ambition, a fledgling drug dealer on his way up, and for every step he takes, opportunity and jeopardy are right there.

It’s the sound that accompanies those lights in a city that never sleeps, where fast money meets faster cars and darker life choices in a high-speed race through neon streets. The production sounds like it should show up on the soundtrack to some sort of high-stakes scene, something like Heat or the smoother subway rides of Frank White. There’s a delicate harmony between grit and elegance, blending hard-hitting beats with melodic undertones that allow “m.b.d” its own special flavor. But what makes the track so special is how deeply personal it feels. It’s the core of growing up a child of the dealers, two levels removed from admiration and two levels away from care, survival, and ambition.

Kick 5000 narrates his lyrics with the touch of a raconteur, bringing listeners into the scene rather than just describing it. “m.b.d” is evidence of Kick 5000’s talent in transforming personal history into vivid musical narratives. It’s a movie that plays inside your head. Spirited, polished, and cinematic, this track puts an emerging artist in his element and the kind of world-building that he should be doing more of.

Séhkou expresses a sacred pain through light in “Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)”

“Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)” breathes like a physical being in prayer, shaking, remembering, and slowly coming back to life. Séhkou’s work is a spoken psalm full of sadness, an open wound, and a testament that gets its strength from being weak, not loud.

The work has the seriousness of scripture, the softness of confessional poetry, and the gentle confusion that comes with spiritual healing. This is a softness that comes from years of breaking, fixing, breaking again, and realizing that the Divine is always there in each crack.

Séhkou talks about the paradox of divine support amid life’s scars, and he shows the pain as beautiful, even holy, and the track knows where light always tries to get in. “Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)” is like a map of lasting scars, showing a faith that doesn’t get rid of pain but changes it. Séhkou whispers that he is still becoming, and that is, in a way, more triumphant. In a culture that loves polished stories, this work shows the flaws and treats them as sacred.
