DrewTaylorOfficial, an up and coming artist out of St. Louis, Missouri, is turning heads by releasing inventive music videos. He just dropped a thorough visual for his song “Back 2 Basics”. It serves as a tasteful introduction to the kind of creative talent he holds. He uses an array of flows in such a short amount of time it’s hard to keep count. He shows off his variety of talents in this song, both rapping and singing. A little more than half way through this video we hear the dual threat combo that is Drew Taylor. His flow completely switches from rapping to singing as he begins echoing amazingly clean vocals.
The video itself shows him in various outdoor settings, walking around outside near train tracks with some friends. This video was shot by PushForward who captivates the audience through layers of eye-catching visual effects on this video, warping the outside world around him. It blurs the lines of reality and a virtual world, creating a video game atmosphere. For someone with such a small amount of music out, Drew Taylor shows a lot of star power and solid camera presence.
This song touches on a variety of subjects and some of the content strikes listeners with emotional conviction. We hear honest lyrics throughout this track like “At 19 almost had me a baby. Plan A didn’t work so Plan B was what saved me,” followed shortly by “I remember the pain of me being broke, I don’t ever wanna feel that shit no more.” The clever word play on this track stands out and it takes a few listens to catch all of the layered messages.
