Stockholm based producer Flipper has recently dropped his new single, 'Nah Follow Dem Path'. More than just a track, but a powerful statement, this tune combines breakbeats with a deep, raggamuffin influence, while also carrying a message that resonates on a personal and societal level.
In his own words, Flipper speaks candidly about the destructive lifestyle that certain artists are promoting to today's youth. "They glorify violence and easy money through drug dealing, show off extreme luxury, and treat women as objects," he says. 'Nah Follow Dem Path' stands in stark contrast to this mentality, urging young people to resist those harmful messages and to forge their own path in life instead.
"The Swedish rap in the track encourages artists to speak about the good things in life and how to make a change. Some defend their lyrics by saying they depict reality. I get that, but they could also rap about how they would like reality to be, and how to solve society's problems. Extrapolating bad things isn't "depicting reality" - Flipper
Flipper chose to release the track through Impact Reset, a Swedish label that has been a key part of his journey. Sweden, as Flipper points out, is facing a growing issue with youth violence, and he hopes his music can be a catalyst for change. "They were the first label that showed interest in my music when I was starting out," he adds. "This track is a way for me to show my gratitude and make a statement about what’s important."
'Nah Follow Dem Path' is out now available to dtream and buy. It certainly provides a strong message and it's more than meets the eye.
