Los Kemet - Barter 7 (Dig Dat) (Single)

At the end of last week, Los Kemet released his highly anticipated lead single, “Barter 7,” slated to be off his upcoming EP, “Starrunner.” Titling the record as a fictitious sequel to Young Thug’s monumental mixtape, Los pays homage to Thug's career and channels it throughout the visual in intriguing fashion. The creative addition to the record, shot in Austin, TX, by Thomas G, is generating a lot of attention for its intense and captivating shots of duplicating memorable moments from the YSL CEO's life. Los pays tribute in such an authentic manner that it is fascinating to see him draw inspiration from his predecessors while putting his own unique spin on things.

Los Kemet applies his dirty south roots to the center of the single, painting a vivid picture of his hometown & come up through his lyrics. The production harmonizes through his reputable raps, signaling that Texas is alive and well with artists like Los at the helm of its paramountcy. He attracts a level of grit in his rhymes while still pressing on his signature southern ebonics with wit. His raw sound and passionate delivery reflect his soul, and it feels like he's driven by a strong sense of ambition and a belief that his moment is approaching. The confidence and determination he brings to his music seem to drown out any negative criticism & it's great to hear an artist who brings such authenticity and energy to their work in a meticulous fashion. Los went above and beyond to show true artistry to his audience while gaining traction from new listeners and viewers to take more notice of his direction. If this single is any indication of what we can expect from his EP, then best believe we have another magnum opus on our hands to enjoy from Los.

With only three days out, Los is at 3.4K in views on his visual, with much more to follow throughout September. Success and nothing less for Los & his team; expect to see a huge wave coming in once Los drops his next release, especially if it’s his project. In the meantime, continue running those views until we see 10K or more on it.
