LIVE THE HYPE LIFE w/PHARRELL WILLIAMS!

[theillustriousblacks]

Hype Life Music is proud to present the long awaited debut single from recording artist, live performer, fashion misfit and one half of The Illustrious Blacks...the incomparable Monstah Black!

With lyrics inspired by song titles from the iconic Prince Rogers Nelson, Monstah Black's ultra-sensual "CAUGHT" imagines a utopia where societies mental, emotional and physical differences are erased, and individuality prevails. The seductive track weaves a tapestry of minimal electronic sounds that drip with elements of southern soul, goth and funk. Monstah delivers a smooth vocal over the ethereal song, reminiscent of acts like The Weeknd and James Blake.

Produced, written, arranged and performed by the man himself, "Caught" is the perfect introduction into the heart, mind and soul of Monstah Black.
