Rising Afro-fusion artist Grumpy has unveiled his latest single, “IF I GO,” a poignant and introspective track that delves into the struggles of a hustle-oriented life. At just 23 years old, Grumpy continues to showcase his unique ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with captivating melodies, creating music that resonates deeply with listeners.
“IF I GO” tells the story of a man navigating the pressures of providing for his family while grappling with feelings of isolation. The song poses a heartfelt question: “If I go to the end of the road someday, would you come and resolve my pain?” Set against the backdrop of an uplifting instrumental, the track’s dampening lyrics highlight the resilience and determination required to keep moving forward, even in the face of adversity.
“The setting in my mind was an elderly man walking down a cobblestone street in the 80s,” says Grumpy. “It’s about the hustle mentality and the idea that, no matter what, the show must go on. This song is for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of responsibility and wondered if their efforts are truly seen or appreciated.”
