Deuce Fantastick wants to succeed and not just survive on his propulsive and powerful new single and video 4L1v3 — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Driven by slick cadence and gut-wrenching storytelling, the Edmonton rapper’s newest single delivers deep rhythms and colorful portrayals of perseverance. Actively fighting the negativity in the world, Deuce throws lyrical jabs of gratitude and positivity aimed directly for the listener. A bid to inspire greatness in his fans, 4L1v3 preaches the importance of overcoming personal demons while rising above self-doubt.
“I wrote 4L1v3 because I feel like the world has been filled with a lot of negativity in the last couple of years,” Fantastick explains. “I wanted to create a piece that could raise the vibration by speaking about gratitude, love, and positivity while at the same time talking about my own personal journey of inner growth.”
Teasing the release of his newest album Billion Dollar Dreams Vol. 2: The Future, 4L1v3 sets the pace for this ambitious rapper. 4L1v3 feels deeply personal to Deuce as he spits personal mantra’s and up-lifting verses. “4L1v3 speaks on a lot of essential subjects such as overcoming your demons, rising above lower vibrations, and self-doubt. When people hear this song, I want them to close their eyes, listen to the lyrics, and feel as if it is them speaking my words — a mantra of sorts.”
While the message in the track is inspirational and empowering, the production value really sells 4L1v3. Brimming with swagger, Fantastick delivers hard-hitting bass licks and diesel-powered drum cadence that leans the track towards something reminiscent of early 2000’s East Coast rap.
