Asriel - Jordan Year (At This Rate) (Official Video)

Asriel blows the trumpets of an inevitable victory on bouncy new single Jordan Year (At This Rate), out today.

The brazilian-funk-infused pop-rap banger is a celebration of a clear future entailing rap-star level success alongside lyrical dribbling that supports his huge potential. “Jordan Year is more of an affirmation than a brag. I’m a firm believer that if I work hard and consistently towards something I will achieve it. And I believe the same thing for you.” Asriel shares on the release.

Unless you’ve caught him shutting down random open mics as last performer, you haven’t heard or seen Asriel this confident in himself ever. However, his rap bravado isn’t off-putting at all. It’s invigorating. His vocals glaze over the self-produced modern rap beat layered with balle-funk vocal chops, anime references and dynamic flows. This single is a triumphant return from his hiatus, placing him further in the same vein of the exceptional acts in the alternative rap scene such as Amine, IDK, Blanco & Tobi Lou.

With a speedy improvement every release, Asriel and his believers keep getting harder to ignore. And “at this rate”, the Alternative Rap scene will have to turn its head to the young generation’s newest ace, who’s arguably half as violent but twice as audacious.
