VIDEO: ProVerb ft Kabomo – My Day Will Come

Proverb is easily one of the greatest African rappers of all time. The South African has wowed hiphop fans in his homeland in the last few years and continues to pick up Awards.
“My Day Will Come” is his most recent video off the “FOURTHWRITE” album. On this song, Verb tells us his story in a way only poets and lyrical geniuses are able to do. Thankfully, he’s both. Another classic, in my opinion.
*O.O*

“My music has never been about the bells and whistles but has always been honest. It’s never been more honest than my single “My Day Will Come.” This is not a song as much as it is a short autobiography or a self portrait shown musically. I show my flaws, my blemishes and my imperfections. In this vulnerable state I also table my deep desires to overcome life’s obstacles in pursuit of maximizing my potential. I’m far from reaching my quest, but I believe firmly that I’m on the path and “My Day Will Come.” I use the current milestones along my journey as fuel and I illustrate and celebrate these in the music video. True measure of success is how many you bring with you, so my intention and hopes with the single is the mobilize a movement of self-driven and highly motivated individuals who also believe that they’re Day will come..
Thank you to Kabomo, JobieOne, Cross/Makere, Suzan and Ziona and to all my friends including DJ Fresh for helping me tell my story.”
