LOS KEMET has dropped off a fresh single called “Barter 7 (Dig Dat)”, alongside a visual directed by LOS and Thomas G. LOS KEMET is an artist originally from the deep southern city of Jackson, Mississippi, who has resided in various big cities like Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, and now Austin, Texas. The variety of styles he provides across his discography are a clear depiction of where he has resided- and he chooses to dub his sound “New Soul” or “Seeds Of The South”. LOS’ latest offering is “Barter 7”, a smooth, versatile joint that follows up his well-received album Got Drunk For The Most High from February 2023. Featuring an engaging new visual that uses hazy, warm shots to effectively capture the track’s sound, “Barter 7 (Dig Dat)” is a potent new release from the Mississippi-born artist.
Sonically, “Barter 7 (Dig Dat)”- produced by @guttylim0 & Zach Neiss– uses warm grooves and immersive keys to conjure a feeling of assurance and confidence, laden with crisp percussion that locks in a hypnotic rhythm. LOS sounds light on his feet on the microphone, weaving together dynamic lines with ease and never falling into a predictable rhyme pattern. Even throwing in subtle yet memorable melodic flourishes, LOS demonstrates his diverse skillset as an emcee and vocalist with “Barter 7 (Dig Dat)”. The video captures the song’s laid-back charisma with its easygoing yet stylish appeal and vibrant warmth, adding an engaging, cohesive visual accompaniment.
