Cambridge-born rapper Verbivore is taking the hip-hop scene by storm with his unique multi-genre approach, and his latest single “Dopamedia” is no exception.
Now based in Edinburgh, Verbivore has quickly become a renowned rapper in the capital, known for his honest and vulnerable songwriting.
“Dopamedia” tackles the dark side of social media addiction, urging listeners to disconnect from the constant stream of notifications and likes. The hard-hitting rap track criticizes the unrealistic standards perpetuated by social media, shedding light on the negative impact these platforms can have on mental health.
The single, produced by Exile, a well-known drum and bass producer, features a bass-driven drill track with a digital atmosphere, offering a memorable listening experience.
Verbivore’s witty punchlines and technical flows create powerful and thought-provoking imagery, such as “Cyborgs with a brain in our palms,” representing humans constantly using phone technology to boost their intelligence.
In “Dopamedia,” Verbivore exposes his own self-esteem struggles and encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and “play with the cards they are dealt.” The track serves as a timely reminder for people to step back from the virtual world and reconnect with reality.
Available now on all major streaming platforms, “Dopamedia” will also have a music video released on Instagram and YouTube on May 11, 2023. The video aims to raise awareness about the potential dangers of social media use for people aged 18 and over.
Verbivore’s innovative take on the drill genre, eschewing its typical focus on violence in favor of spreading knowledge and awareness, sets him apart from other artists in the rap game.
With a successful track record of performances at events like 20 Years of Critical Sound, Midnight Bass, DnB Allstars Tour, Woodland Dance Project, Nass, and Boomtown Festival, it’s clear that Verbivore’s passion for lyricism will continue to contribute significantly to the hip-hop scene.
