Godlvng – “Go!”
Godlvng is an abstract hip hop trio from our city that challenges the zeitgeist with their lyrics, and sends you to otherlands with their sounds.
Vocalists Tr38cho & Father Baker tend to meet producer Hunger Artist wherever they are. On their latest track, “Go!” that appears to be in some sort of dark, vaguely evil dungeon. Each vocalists lyrics are far from vague, posturing within some purgatory of understanding. “Go!” explores the relationships between prey and predator, both with foxes and hens and lions and sheep. They repeat the line “A Lion doesn’t concern himself with the thoughts of a sheep – that’s a lie if I ever heard it. If a lion doesn’t try to think like its prey then how does it eat?” examining conventional societal wisdoms. What else is nonsensical? What else need not apply? Should we lean into nihilism? That thought is also proposed here from Godlvng: “All the lessons you learn will be lost when you’re dead.” I can’t pretend like I can unwrap “Go!” for you – this trio put too much work into their art for me to fully deconstruct it after a couple of day. At its core Godlvng is using abstract art to challenge us listeners – give “Go!” a spin and see what you take out of it.
The track appears from the trio’s latest self-titled EP – Check it out where via Apple Music or Spotify
