Portland, Oregon emcee Devin “Gatsby” James is a very expressive artist. On top of recording music, he’s a spoken word poet and is in the midst of writing a hip hop fused theatrical screenplay titled “The Case”. But today, we’re showcase a very emotional video for Gatsby’s track “The Promise”. Here’s how he explains the record.
This is a song about promises made, kept, broken and obliterated. It’s about the tenacity of a person to keep going forward, even as people or substances try to hold them back.
Be on the lookout for Gatsby’s next single “Just Ride” to drop soon produced by Aurora, Illinois’ own JCA Beats Productions.
