Brooklyn hip-hop artist GV premieres the music video for “Lil Min” today and Rhyme Junkie got it first. The song is from his album Second Calm.

“Lil Min” relates the frustrated hope and yearning of an artist, who toils incessantly for his art, apparently to no avail. Taking a cue from the movie Airheads, he decides to take matters into his own hands.

GV stands for “God’s Voice,” and refers to his potent delivery, heated lyricism, and heavy old school trap sound. His first two singles, “Exhale” and “Another Hit,” gave notice he was here and making waves. He followed up with “Tunnelz,” which unleashed the heat on unsuspecting fans, giving them more than they bargained for.

“Lil Min” mousses things up even more, opening with wavering, droning synths and a supercharged bassline from the earth’s core.

Triplet beats add pungency to the beefy trap rhythm, as the synths inject contrasting elevated harmonic flavors, like the slow wail of an outraged animal.

The vocals ripple with complicit colors, ranging from deep articulate rumbles to machine gun-like rants talking nineteen to the dozen.

As the song crescendos, layers of vocals merge with humming industrial-strength synths, giving the tune a pulverizing resonance. The fierce lyrics hit home with a powerhouse punch.

“I been here for a lil minute / Watch the years go by, by, by / I been here for a lil minute / For the clock and let time fly, fly, fly.”

The video opens with GV in jail, being interrogated, relating what went down. He and his crew stormed a radio station. Once inside, they put his music on, broadcasting it over the air waves. For a little minute, the ploy works. But then things fall apart.

With “Lil Min,” GV rises up with brilliant allusions and turns of phrase, as well as the pressure of stylish intensity. An infectious melody and throbbing rhythm make “Lil Min” a definite winner.
