Can You Hear Clarence The Kid Now?! CYHUN 2
San Jose artist, Clarence The Kid, wraps up the year with a captivating and thoughtful project in Can You Hear Us Now 2. The second installment in the series serves as a reflection of Clarence’s life being a young black man in America.
The project features fellow USC artists and civil rights activists Kabwasa and Jamel. Records such as “All Black Lives” and “Keep Going!” showcase the chemistry among these artists and their uncanny ability to inspire new perspectives on these pressing issues. With production help from Roy Chase and Versus Beats, CYHUN 2 is a flawless project that features intense testimonials, melancholic beats, and personal anecdotes.
Earlier this year, at the height of the BLM movement, Clarence recorded and released the first part in the “Can You Hear Us Now” series. Since the release back in April, Clarence has done plenty of growing not only as an artist, but as a civil rights activist. Having performed at multiple BLM peaceful protests throughout the year, Clarence’s message goes beyond just music. He stands for equality and the empowerment of black people everywhere. Clarence notes that despite living a straightedge life, he still fears the boys in blue. No matter where he turns he is faced with inequality.
Clarence’s CYHUN 2 effortlessly pushes a progressive dialogue that not only resonates with Generation Z, but activated Hip-Hop listeners. The project is just as stimulating mentally as it is entertaining. For those of you that are unfamiliar, be sure to peep the project in it’s entirety below!
