The Motivation

Why We Need Motivation?

2020 has been a year that many of us did not anticipate. From COVID-19 and the many issues spawned from it that are affecting our community. There is a sense of disparity in our community with many small businesses being force to shut down.

Music has always been a source of inspiration. Throughout time our people have used music to empower and inspire through various systemic issues. This tradition is continued with the inspirational song 'Motivation' by Priest Da Nomad. The single and video is the latest effort from 'The Manhood Project '.

Immediately when hearing the vibes created from Kokayi and Priest himself, you are put into a trance laced by GoGo influenced bounce beat. The harmony continues to communicate in a way that just brings excitement as you listen to every word. The hook "You Say Wanna Go To The Whatever Happens Don't Stop Gotta Put In The Work Youngin Lets Go!"

Visually this piece is creative as it shows many acts of humanity while highlighting how many of artist are forced to share their talent via Zoom sessions. The rhythmic vibes are also shown as the video gives nod to the youth dancing to the track at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C. Priest curates and narrates something that we all need. Check out the video. Let us know how you feel!
