If there's anything good music is always notorious for, it's the subtle, intelligent and insightful quotes and messages that could result when artists take time to carefully write their lyrics and really think about what they are saying. Idrise is one of such artists. Being a music producer, a sound engineer, a great performer, an amazing singer and an all-round entertainer overall, it's easy for him to go the down the route many popular artists seem to be taking nowadays and just sing what could only be described as the first thing that comes to their minds when they hear a backing track, record it, mix it down and send it off for mastering - but not this guy. It only takes a quick look through Idrise's massive discography, which dates back to 2012 when he released his very first single, "Falling" to realise that he pays close attention to what he's doing and saying both artistically and lyrically.The high-flying California based independent R&B sensation's latest single, "What Should Be" was released on the 22nd of June. Though the single has already been hailed as one of Summer 2018's top independent hits, it seems to be living in the shadows of his latest collaboration, "Drinks On Us", a sinlge with rapper B-Pac that is causing a lot of pandemonium in LA and beyond.Stream single:
