By T.Clive’s artistry, one can hear the vibrant sounds of Alexandra’s streets, Johannesburg, the South African artist’s home, and the energy that powers his impactful rhymes. Through the raw raps that echo the cadences of his community, he captivates his listeners with vivid storytelling. T.Clive’s loyal fanbase that is growing not only in the nation but also globally as well, by using his passion in the lyrical art he communicates the unheard realities of the people into the global music scene.
T.Clive climbs onto new levels with his hard-hitting new track “UP TO THE TOP”. In the background of the track, which is driven by a smooth beat that is layered with bouncing bassline and crisp snares, T.Clive uses a versatile flow, and glides from singing melancholic lines to rapping with an energetic style.The unique pitch of his voice adds to the song’s rhythm and fluctuation of the beat. Space is where the shimmering synths and the melodious keys come out to play.
Clive’s verbal capabilities are exceptionally sharp as he fluidly inserts various cadences and volume changes to evoke a spirit of enthusiasm throughout the whole production. Melodic motifs of strength are the chorus-cum-the-peak of the music that you can use to climb your own mountain. The tiniest percussion changes are subtly introduced, while the whole track is rhythmically enhanced, which gradually makes people’s heads bob. Whilst uplifting the lofty goals, T.Clive still keeps a natural connection with the earthly roots that lead him to the music.
Through “UP TO THE TOP”, T.Clive shows that he is a new star in hip-hop, as he gives us a glimpse of his skill, intelligence and refusal to stop moving forward. The fact that he is a one-man band – the writer, singer, composer, and producer – makes him an international artist to look out for.
