[MP3 + Music Video] Devontée – Growing Crazy

We posted the complete Head Gone album the other day but here goes a video for the single, “Going Crazy” from it and here’s the PR science behind it:

Today, Toronto’s burgeoning rap star Devontée releases his new video for “Growing Crazy”, a self-produced song featured on his critically-acclaimed Head Gone album. Directed by Dan LeMoyne, the video features the lovestruck rapper/producer playfully demonstrating how being in love can wreak a good kind of havoc on the mind, while fully captivating the body and soul when you least expect it. “This video is one of my favourites because it really captures me and the kinds of emotions that make up a big part of Head Gone,” says Devontée, whose new album was highlighted by Noisey as one of its picks for “New Albums for Heavy Rotation” alongside new projects from Noname, 6lack and Aphex Twin. “The dark heavy bass and the catchy melodies relate to all that have ever felt real love before.”

[Album Stream] Devontée – HEAD GONE

Really good new album release from one of the more promising artists from The 6ix:

On September 14, rising rap star Devontée drops his highly anticipated Head Gone album. Described as a perfect blend of the sounds of his cultural upbringing (Toronto, Jamaica) with that of his current musical adventures throughout the United States, Head Gone’s hypnotizing bass heavy sounds, catchy flows and melodies, combined with its potent messages with purpose, are sure to become streaming playlist staples.

“The term Head Gone stems from my Jamaican father’s reggae/dancehall influence,” explains the producer/rapper who first came to the attention of North American media types with his critically-acclaimed single “Bare Tings” that originated the viral WOE phenom popularized in Drake’s “Know Yourself”. “The first song I recorded was “Wild West” in New York City’s Quad Studios, and I recorded “Overthinking” and “Haunted” in my cousins Ayesha & Stephen Curry’s pool house. I recorded “Bless” with Kevin Durant at his house in Oakland (and ended up mixing & mastering the whole album there) and I recorded and produced “Growing Crazy” and “Real Rudebwoy” the same weekend at OVO 40’s studio in Toronto. Thankfully, listeners get to hear a whole range of influences from my family, friends and peers on here.”
