Goyrd "Am I fake"

I'm always fascinated to see the multiple sides of artists after their first big success... It's like that scene in the film "Basquiat," one character says "you gotta keep doing the same shit, even if it's boring, or else people will hate you, which they will anyways." It's rather grim to be sure, but the point I'm making here is that it takes guts to sing from your heart, especially after people come to expect a certain style from you. 


Most people will remember Hip-Hop/Rap artist Goyrd from his recent breakout song "Gucci Coochie" (not to be confused with the Die Antwoord song of the same name) which was for all intents and purposes, a club-banger. Luckily though, in his most recent track "Am I Fake" we see a more thoughtful and reflective style - it's no less catchy than his previous hit, but this song takes a jazzier and more artistic flavor. It's nice to see artists like Goyrd can exist in multiple spheres, being successful in each.
