Brooklyn has been a hotbed for hip-hop’s authentic voices, and Lawd P ensures he continues that tradition. With his new single “BLOOD WATER,” taken from his 2020 EP “Paradigm Shift 2020,” Lawd P is an artist with a message, a story, and emotion to draw from.
And in a time of a global pandemic, “BLOOD WATER” resonates with the pain, loss, and personal explorations of all so many people faced. Rather than just rapping about the chaos, Lawd P does the opposite. The visuals for the track depict him stepping into a church, where he pours out his heart to The Man Above. It’s real, veritable, and relatable. As much as we put on brave, hard-working faces, we’ve all had moments where we’ve stopped and asked ourselves about life, love, and our place in this chaotic world, and Lawd P highlights that universal feeling with powerful lyrics and imagery.
The Brooklyn artist does not lack lyrical prowess, blending street wisdom with introspection that continues to elevate his music above the battle. “BLOOD WATER” manifests the kind of dedicatory writing whose weight is only made weightier with the visuals. This is a song of the times and helps us remember that Brooklyn still has some of the best in the game.
