MostDope had a great 2015 and honestly I wouldn’t have blamed him if he took off the first half of this year to recharge and relax. Instead, he hit the ground running and started work on his sophomore mixtape, which at press time is still 0untitled. You’ve gotta love this kid’s ambition and drive, if nothing else. He released a video for the (possible) first single Forever and a Day recently, which features fellow A1 member Apollo Gamble.
He goes extra thematic in this one, making the song and video all about heartbreak & relationship strife. They talk about an often ignored period between puppy love and serious relationships where you want to get serious but your natural instincts at that age pull you different ways. In an age where rappers make up fairy tales on wax re: street life that they don’t live, it’s refreshing to see two young ass men make themselves vulnerable musically. There’s more authenticity here than you’ll see from most budding emcees. Be on the lookout for Gamble too, as he has Frank Ocean-like talent in singing and songwriting. Check out the video for Forever and a Day after the break and check back with WTM for future coverage on A1’s upcoming releases.
