FU Stan feat Lil Vac - Numb (Video)

FU Stan recently hit my radar, but I'm aware of his debut "Lockdown," from which this single & visual treatment for it is from & it's an anesthetic spreading. It an intoxicating record from the jump as both MC's are feeling numb, probably from all the vices they're abusing to drown out the pain, or possibly they've felt so much discomfort up to this point, they feel nothing anymore, either way, you slice it, they're "Numb."

This single is one of those records you play while lying alone in bed, cold sweat creeping in & a presence of sleep paralysis coming over you. Keeping you in stagnancy because when you're numb, you can't just be numb to one emotion, being in pain. You become numb to everything around you & within you, all love becomes misplaced, your glass heart turns colder, becoming even more delicate than before, it might break with even the slightest touch, so they keep theirs guarded.

In the visuals, both MC's are standing, chanting in a crowd of their people, atop a police car & they demand their respect & if you don't give it then, by all means, they're going to take it cause they don't feel a thing anymore, it's war & to survive it. The duo has to numb themselves to the pain that'll surely be coming their way for who knows how long, but they aren't going out without a fight. Your punches are rendered useless to this level of raw & honest conviction, so I'll definitely be diving into this album, expecting more of this much-needed substance in this climate.
