Tomorrow on Still Here we will be premiering the deadly new track from @alf_the_goat Featuring @riverboyofficial 'Floating’
'Floating' is a cry for survival, through an exploration of self-discovery. The song explores the juxtaposition between current and past consciousness on the journey for complete self-actualisation and ultimately, floating above it.
The song will feature on ALF THE GREAT’S second EP under Blak Label Music on the 19th of November, 2021.
Alf the Great trades verses with River-boy in a collaboration that was spawned from a co-production effort. A collaboration through NATSIMO’s 3, 2, 1 session. 3 hours, 2 artists, 1 song. Where the pair worked through zoom to collaborate on this.
ALF THE GREAT is following up his debut EP ‘Journey’ with a new sound and continuation of his ‘Journey’ narrative on this track where artistry and cadence on the track is inspired by Frank Ocean, Jeff Buckley and Jadu hart.
