The musical production is consistent with this tone, keeping things heated with a vibrant soundscape. YungVeli makes use of electronic sound-effects that compliment the bass-heavy beat. An electronic tone is played every 4 beats to create a simple melody. Every alluring effect is layered over an 808 trap beat, staying true to the world of Hip-Hop and trap.
Hello YungVeli and welcome to BuzzMusic. Can you describe the inspiration you used when writing “Lessons?” What do the lyrics represent?
Seeing all the horrors that plague my community every day is what inspired this record. I'm just so tired of seeing the senseless killings that go on in the black community, and on top of that, the hip hop artist continues to promote the very thing that is destroying our youth and community, so I wanted to use my voice to steer my people in a different direction.
The overall tone of “Lessons” is very intense and direct. Can you tell us how the vibes of “Lessons” compare to the rest of your album “Some Way Some How?”
Lessons set the tone for the Album, the whole project is within the same pocket with giving knowledge, wisdom, and insight on all the things that we deal with amongst our own.
