7LEE's latest single, "fly," is a soaring ode to creativity and unadulterated expression. The Hip-Hop/Rap artist journeys through the roller coaster ride of growing up, finding one's identity, and leaning on music. What sets "fly" apart is that 7LEE does everything himself, from building the beat and penning airtight verses to recording it at home and mixing and mastering the song.
It is unusual to get this hands-on with art, and it makes it very clear that the artist is real, something fans who crave music made with heart and sweat can relate to. The track is high-energy and determined with a dapper beat, sharp and hard, full of its own youth and vigor that matches the artist when he was himself climbing the music business.
"fly" captures the emotional ambivalence of making it through tough times while staying true to your vision. 7LEE uses his music as a kind of therapy, transforming his personal experiences into the universal. Every bar, beat mugs the fact that this is some real music, not part of the Hip-Hop norm.
The song is tight, polished, and modern-sounding, but it also has a raw edge that makes 7LEE seem real. The music layers sit perfectly with the lyrics and feelings at the forefront, and the catchy groove makes you want to dance. The result is a personal song, one that beckons fans to come on board, connect with it, think about it, and fly with the artist at long last.
"fly" is not merely a single, but a call to self-empowerment and presentation of what it means to own your craft. 7LEE makes clear that the young artist can become a visionary with passion, consistency, and backbone. He also enables others to follow his lead.
