Vociferous Sly Releases New Music Video For “Sunshine”

Fresh off of the success of his debut release ‘Illumine’, the mysterious Croydon newcomer known as Vociferous Sly has returned for another round of psychedelic, lo-fi rap with scorching heater of a track ‘Sunshine’. The music video (produced and co-directed himself) sees Sly return with his signature style of visual magic, this time taking us on a raucous journey through the badlands of Croydon. Watch here

Developed as a conceptual framing for familiar conversations often played out between him and friends, ‘Sunshine’ is a playful odyssey of lyricism and wit; delving into politics, love and the struggle for privacy as a public artist. Considerably more tongue-in-cheek than the style of his drill & grime counterparts – who prefer their visuals icy and cold – ‘Sunshine’ plays more like an acid trip on a hot summers day; a truly high-octane rollercoaster of venomous flows and colourful characters.

Cascading over the beat with infectious rhythms and a compelling array of catchy melodies and punchy harmonies, Vociferous Sly ensures the song is also supplemented by his own status as a producer – choosing to supply his own unique, left-field fusion of sub-driven kicks, jazzy bass melodies and the chiming ukulele samples that give ‘Sunshine’ its apt moniker and mood.

A certified summer anthem, this is rap done differently.
