Tumbleweeds by Otis Mensah

and just like that, a new RAP HYMN from the church of existence is born to the archive in continuation of #OtisMensahExists.

"Tumbleweeds" also available on Spotify and Bandcamp:

With rich gospel-esque choir vocals, fluttery piano, epic guitar licks and dusty drum-breaks like a modern Griselda classic, Otis Mensah offers a unique performance of aesthetic jazz-poetry over the intern’s rawest production yet, breaking rhythmic form with lyrics posturing philosophical braggadocio ironically contrasted with existential dread as it moves through themes of capitalism & coming-of-age. Tumbleweeds trailblazes new sonic & conceptual grounds for abstract-rap from British voices.

Otis Mensah is a musician and multidisciplinary artist exploring the intersection of poetry and experimental music(s). Taking influence from the rhythmic and expressive freedom of Jazz, Otis’ work uses aesthetic language as an instrument to solo through themes of race, identity, gender and the body.
