Tyie ft: Josh - Get By (Official Video)
Rising UK rap artist Tyie [Tie] drops his highly anticipated single "Get By," featuring Josh, a powerful blend of UK rap, hip hop, and alternative influences.
Produced by CEDES and engineered by Maletka, the track offers a gritty, introspective look into the daily struggles of survival, reflecting the sacrifices people make just to keep going. Written during Tyie's time as a wine waiter, the song draws from personal experiences of financial strain, juxtaposed with the life of someone free from those same hardships. At its core, "Get By" is a commentary on hustle culture, offering raw honesty about how the pressures to survive can overshadow everything else, even relationships and personal well-being.
Josh's feature adds a layered narrative to the track, injecting a "what-if" scenario that explores the consequences of choosing an easier, but darker path. His verse takes on the role of a storyteller, imagining where Tyie’s life could have gone had he embraced a more destructive route. Together, their synergy brings a thought-provoking dynamic to the song, highlighting the constant tug-of-war between chasing success and staying true to oneself. The production from CEDES and Maletka perfectly complements this lyrical depth, with atmospheric beats and moody soundscapes, enhancing the song’s raw emotional weight.
The striking music video directed by Matt Chandler captures the essence of "Get By," offering viewers a cinematic portrayal of the song's themes bringing an artistic, yet gritty, realism to the narrative, further immersing listeners in Tyie’s world of struggle and reflection.
