Tobe Nwigwe And Big KRIT Go Against The Grain In Their ‘Bozos’ Video

The two Southern rappers warn, ‘Don’t join the circus if you ain’t a clown.’ …

DIY rappers Tobe Nwigwe and Big KRIT link up to advise listeners to embrace their individuality in the exquisitely-styled video for “Bozos.” Set in an empty amphitheater, the video sees the two Southern rappers flanked by a flight of dancers and draped in crimson tunics emblazoned with their iconic album art as they call out “Bozos” who just go along with the crowd. “Don’t join the circus if you ain’t a clown,” they warn while spitting verses full of warm encouragement for the iconoclasts who follow their own path.

If you haven’t heard of Dallas rapper Tobe Nwigwe before this, it’s time to get familiar (here’s his immaculate NPR Tiny Desk Concert as a primer). Earlier this year, Tobe went viral with a series of short songs this summer referencing Breonna Taylor and police brutality. Displaying his full capabilities as a rapper, singer, designer, director, and producer, the videos for “I Need You To (Breonna Taylor)” and “Try Jesus” took off on Instagram after being shared by Diddy, LeBron James, and more. They launched the rapper, who’s been steadily toiling as an indie artist for the past several years, to a new level of well-deserved stardom. He’s an artist that serious rap fans should be keeping an eye on in the future, as he’s just getting started.

Sahara CyberStars evokes a soul-stirring sonic charm with its new release, “Winds of Time”

Sahara CyberStars

Occasionally, a musical composition emerges with the soaring intensity of an impending storm, captivating attention, and provoking thought. “Winds of Time,” the latest single by Sahara CyberStars, epitomizes this phenomenon. Rooted deeply in the heart of classic rock balladry, this track from the Irish-Australian duo Trish and Dave Long presents a reflective exploration through chaos, resilience, and the inexorable wheel of time.

Originally penned during calmer periods, which they refer to as “more normal times,” the song feels eerily prophetic today. Its lyrical foundation is substantial, notably illustrated in lines such as “the power of greed came to plunder, pull our world asunder.” There’s no cryptic poetry here; Sahara CyberStars speaks plainly and impactfully, whispering universal truth within a melodically sophisticated framework.

Trish’s hauntingly ethereal vocal delivery juxtaposes beautifully with Dave’s intricate instrumentation, imbuing the track with organic warmth. Their sound harkens back to their roots in Dublin’s music scene while incorporating expansive cinematic narrative styles in Aussie landscapes. The interplay between their voices and instruments conveys an authenticity that feels both lived-in and emotionally profound.

But its intrinsic sense of hope distinctly elevates “Winds of Time.” Yes, it reflects on a fractured societal narrative and simultaneously seeks to illuminate pathways toward recovery and renewal. The chorus crescendos with a subtle optimism, reminding listeners that, despite turbulent conditions, the resilience of the human spirit remains undiminished. It asserts that while times may change and bring something brighter, the healing potential is inevitable.

Sahara CyberStars has effectively distilled a timeless essence within “Winds of Time” that resonates with contemporary rock ballad audiences. Amidst the chaos, “Winds of Time” stands out as a profoundly earnest sonic testament to our identity, the history of where we’ve been, and the vital importance of perseverance through adversity. It’s a perfect anthem for visionaries and those navigating the impossible-to-ignore whirlwind of shared experiences, searching for meaning through sincere expression.
