@CoopsOfficial - Chillin' [Music Video]
After winning the Choice FM Breakthrough Competition in 2013, North London rapper Coops was given the opportunity to perform at the London o2 with none other than Hip-Hop royalty, Nas. The series of events instilled a new self-belief within the rapper and having previously used music as a pastime, the 23-year-old Londoner’s passion for the craft was ignited.
After completing a degree in performing arts at Southampton University, Coops set to work on his mixtape ‘Lost Soul’.
The first track to be taken from the mixtape; ‘Chillin’ is an introduction to the soulful, laid back, Hip Hop vibe that Coops represents. With an evident stroke of creative intuition, Coops matches an effortless flow and delivery with a beautifully pared down beat that allows his content to shine, and embodies it's title to the fullest.
“The ‘Chillin’ track is about good vibes, good people and good weed. I felt this track is the perfect introduction to the Lost Soul Tape bringing an old skool 90 s boom bap feel to it”
Set for release on 2nd June via his own website, the ‘Lost Soul’ mixtape is a collection of tracks which represent a number of different meanings and emotions as does the title itself. As well as being a metaphor for Coops’ perception of himself in his search for self-awareness, it also reflects what Coops feels has been lost in music today, especially within his immediate surroundings.
“Lost Soul is a reflection of my generation, both musically and spiritually, I'm tryna bring back some of that soul that music had when I was growing up.
