PREMIERE: Lil Seyi - Recall (Young Man) (Single)

Lil Seyi releases the 3rd instalment 'Recall (Young Man)' of his 4-part EP narrative. Taken from new EP 'A Blue Tesla Story' released via Kitsuné Musique.

Rising Maryland born artist Lil Seyi channels golden era hiphop on poignant new track 'Recall (Young Man), following on from recent singles 'Leather Free Seats' and 'AC Press', lifted from the new EP 'A Blue Tesla Story' due this summer through Kitsuné Musique.

After the release of several singles and a wonderful 'Remixes EP', Lil Seyi has worked hard to come back with a project that lives up to his artistic ambitions. 'A Blue Tesla Story' is more than just four songs, it is a whole story, which must be listened to in its entirety, composed and performed by a young man whose trajectory is on the rise.

Seyi, who has always been fascinated by golden era hiphop and offers an EP that combines the classic codes of the genre with his personal influences. Channeling the strong political messaging of groups like N.W.A and Public Enemy and the current social commentary of peers like Kendrick Lamar. The diversity and originality of his compositions remind us of Kanye West's achievements, while the structure of the project and the way of linking the tracks remind us of Frank Ocean's creations.

Seyi explains: "The nameless main character in a A Blue Tesla Story isn't perfect, far from it actually. The EP even opens up with him going on a joyride, rear ending a car and driving away from the scene (hit and run). This decision leads to a series of events that end in the tragic passing away of his brother at the hands of the highway patrol. The EP continues as we follow the life of this main character as he deals with the public eye of this very public trial seeking justice for his brother. We see him getting support from protestors, but we also see him under heavy scrutiny as his involvement with credit card scamming surfaces. In the end, we find him left with nothing at all as time passes by and neither the supporters nor critics seemed to care about him or his late brother anymore."
