Amsterdam-based hip-hop artist Cartis drops the single Trophy’s on February 22, 2024, a track that delves deep into the psyche of its creator. With a blend of melodic rhythms and raw, authentic verses, Cartis crafts a personal and relatable sound.
It’s Cartis’s way of wrestling with the shadows of doubt that often cloud our minds. He admits to facing the same battles with imposter syndrome that many of us do. Yet, instead of succumbing to these feelings, he channels them into his music, transforming self-doubt into a powerful narrative of self-empowerment and resilience.
His lyrics convey the constant challenges and betrayals that come with life and the music industry, yet he stands firm, unwavering in his commitment to his craft and his values. Cartis’s narrative is one of triumph over adversity.
Something that they wanna know when I’m gonna fold why you wasting my time (TIME)
I’m still on the roads I ain’t breaking no codes I ain’t never been caught by the five (Na na na yeah)
The production of Trophy’s complements its introspective nature perfectly, with the beats and melodies creating a backdrop that enhances the emotional depth of the lyrics, inviting listeners to feel the music.
