Von Tae gets a few things off his chest in his powerful and personal new track On God — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The Baltimore-based rapper’s newest single is a masterclass in velvet delivery and silk sonic music production from start to finish. Reflecting on the trials and tribulations associated with day-to-day life, On God is a proficient retelling wisdom paired with a side of raw emotion. Von Tae recounts his darkest days in this heartfelt track, revisiting homelessness in Atlanta, the death of his oldest brother, infidelity, and a global pandemic. The whole production is reminiscent of an intimate confessional — two strangers in a dark room, sharing hardships and reflecting without judgment.
“I released On God during one of the most challenging times of my life,” he admits. “Within the last few years leading up to the album, I dealt with a host of issues. I’ve learned that life is a fight, and the only way you’ll lose is if you stop swinging.”
On God previews Von Tae’s newest EP On God: Single & Remixes, a collection inspired by his struggles and encounters, featuring musical perspectives from Tae and other breakthrough artists such as Nicolas Quédreux.
