RUSSELL! - Lindsay's Freestyle (Official Video)

Having developed a passionate fanbase on the back of his hi-def brand of R&B, Canadian Rostrum Records signed newcomer RUSSELL! Looks certain to further develop his fast growing reputation with the reveal of Lindsay’s Freestyle. Showcasing world class vocals atop warm production, the track serves to further heighten buzz around the viral Toronto based artist. Speaking on the track, RUSSELL! States:

Lindsay’s Freestyle is a song dedicated to a friend of mine who I’ve known for years. I think if it as sort of a letter to a distant love, and also a general letter to my fans. It’s a song mainly about my desires of wanting to love and commit to somebody conflicting with my dreams & lifestyle. This is more of a vulnerable cut for my listeners.

After developing a following on YouTube and MySpace while releasing rap music as D-Pryde, he signed a record deal at the age of 16 and moved to New York City. But creative differences made for a shaky few years in the creative wild—a tough time further complicated by his mother’s unfortunate passing. After he parted ways with his former label, he re-learned the finer points of the music industry while independently managing himself and finding his voice. Look out for more from RUSSELL! soon.
