Emerging Bosnian, Arab, and North African rapper, singer, producer, and songwriter Young Gravity delivers vulnerable yet groovy offering “Intoxicated,” an R&B-infused hip-hop production led by laid-back rap verses layered over hazy beats. Inspired by his first alcohol-induced blackout, the track is a raw and honest glimpse of the emerging multi-talent’s heart and mind as he explores yearning to change our ways but getting sucked in temptation for momentary bliss and euphoria.
With a self-reflective yet relatable message on how coping mechanisms often lead you straight back into the loneliness you were trying to escape from, the track brings Gravity’s innermost feelings to the surface, resonating with anyone who has experienced insecurities and anxieties.
Speaking of the message behind the track, he says, “Intoxicated to me means you’ve gone above and beyond in burying yourself deeper in the pain you’re hiding from.”
Having lived a life marked by homelessness and poverty in Tuzla, Bosnia and then facing struggles in the form of crime, drugs, gangs, and depression, music has remained Gravity’s stronghold and solace through everything.
After his penchant for poetry bloomed into flowing sonics punctuated by catchy beats, Young Gravity has continued to hone his craft framed by strong pillars of catharsis and escapism, With the gentle yet energetic, “Intoxicated,” he sets the stage for much more of his heartfelt hip-hop sound.
