Remember last year’s runaway rap hit ‘Run This’ that featured 7 of Malaysia’s finest rappers? Well, if you do then you should remember Ego, the guy responsible for that song and video take took the local Hip-Hop music scene, and more by storm. He’s back today again, this time dropping his new song and video simultaneously on the internet.
Fallin’ is a track taken off his upcoming Chindian Rapper mixtape, where the talented rapper touches on issues close to him and his apparent relationship with family members, echoing a strong message of divorce and it’s effects on the Gen Y youths today. The visuals behind it is also stunning and sets the most accurate feel for the track, where the KL based lyricist just pours out the rawest form of emotions on wax.
Ego, being one of the finalist of this years 8TV show WORD, that pitted him against 7 other rappers that have been making considerable amounts of noise in the local Hip-Hop scene, divides his time as a visual editor while running independent recording label Egoistic Records and plans to drop Chindian Rapper soon. And although he hasn’t specified when, it’s close to say it’s set to drop anytime, possibly in the coming weeks.
Also according to the rapper, the material and/or elements that makes this song/video might be borrowed from other sources…he does explain that this is a mixtape, and for the rapping kind, this is the bestest (and probably THE only) form of self promotion for independent rap artist in our country. Regardless though, as we feel, it is one of the better works of quality in the Hip-Hop stratosphere and HYPE definitely recommends his music. But hey, don’t just take our word for it…watch this song called ‘Machas’ that he and fellow rapper Tactmatic put out a months back below:
