\u201cHope For Me\u201d is the latest track from Knowa Lazarus and Flava Matikz (who make up the Filipino-American production duo, Q-York) alongside the rapper, Dank Puffs. The New York-based duo have crafted a song that stays true to their mission of creating music that uplifts and provides a sense of self-empowerment to its listeners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lyrically, the song touches on themes of keeping it real and pushing forward. Knowa Lazarus raps about staying positive despite setbacks. On the hook, he sings \u201cI am the darkness\/you are the light\u201d and \u201cwith you, there\u2019s hope for me.\u201d It’s a reminder that whatever journey you face, you don\u2019t need to take it alone. Sometimes you need someone else there with you to keep pushing onwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dank Puffs’ verse provides some humorous flourishes that can make anyone who listens smile. For example, his double entendre concerning an old Nintendo cartridge seems outrageous, but you can’t help but laugh at the brilliance of it. Yet, Puffs really reaches his stride in the second half of his verse as his words rattle and roll with the groove creating a truly infectious moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under all of this, you hear Flava Matikz\u2019s fresh beat skittering and bouncing like energetic city streets. It feels lightweight and has a warm vibe to it that enhances the message of hopefulness. This provides the \u201clight\u201d Knowa sings about that helps to make the track shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, whenever you feel the darkness, listen to \u201cHope For Me.\u201d The positive vibes are contagious. Q-York and Dank Puffs want to remind us that we are not alone on our journeys and that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel\u2013no matter how dark it gets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
