It’s always refreshing to hear about artists who use their platform to inspire. UK based, Nigerian rapper BREIS (Brother Reaching Each Inner Soul) is doing just that. “Strictly,” featuring the vocals of UK artist Eska (Zero 7, Matthew Herbert and The Cinematic Orchestra) that appeared on his The Brilliant EP and will be featured on the audio edition of his book, Brilliant Rappers Educate Intelligent Students, UK’s first interactive hip-hop book of rhymes. The video takes us to his native land Nigeria, in a mode to make you feel good.
It is clear from BREIS‘s work that his mission is to create conscious music to influence his generation and the next, in a medley sound of cultures – from West Africa, Yoruba, West Indian, British, to US influences of hip hop to jazz. But more importantly, to have the message lift and inspire.
From the publication of his book, BREIS was invited to perform a TEDxYouth talk – “Think Big vs. Fear of Failure,” a direct extension to his own company Student of Life, a hip hop education company that conducts workshops across the UK in schools. Check out “Strictly” below and get yourself acquainted with this talent.
