UAE-based rapper, JustNishan, tackles anxieties and societal expectations in new track ‘Carnations’. Featuring fellow Dubai-based rapper, Fil$, the track sees the rappers speak of consistently increasing pressures and question their ability to remain strong in the face of them, both exhibiting an impressive flow.
The Sri Lankan-born JustNishan also touches the value of family loyalty and maintains a mode of seeking tranquility, a peaceful state of mind against a sharp beat that sits over a neo-soul-inspired, jazz guitar melody from producer, Young Taylor. Peeking through the track, however, are strong notions of self-assuredness and perhaps the striking message that, at the end of the day, it’s okay not to be okay.
