On the back of a robust and busy year in 2021 with three projects to his name, the “Soufside“ emcee Beloved King David gifts fans this mesmeric trilogy.
Using music therapy to counter his traumas, Killeen, Texas lyricist Beloved King David gets 2022 off to a flyer as he weaves through his latest offering in resilient fashion to emerge the hero on his latest record.
Turning up as his sixth project in under three years, Beloved King David tackles his brother’s fatal passing, plays producer on “Far From Home” on the soulful trap number, purges through the smokers anthem “Pack Smoker,” and grants us front row access to the mind of a young Southside native on the diabolical lifestyle he endures just to show up as if he is unperturbed.
“I tried my best to narrate how life has been after the passing of my brother Shaun Miller last year,” he said. “For example in the intro song (produced by me by the way) I said ‘couple nights back, I put the glick to my head and I swear I was ready to blow, then I remembered I got a lil bro, and I miss Shaun but I’m still on a mission that’s why I refuse to just go like a hoe.'”
“I went through a lot this year from beating Covid to having multiple Sickle Cell Crisis’ back to back. It got overwhelming at one point I just used this EP as a way to let it all out and not get consumed by my frustration and anger” Beloved admits to Remixd Mag.
The King‘s Memoir Vol.3 is the third installment of the three-part series that begun in 2019.
“The project I’m promoting right now is Titled ‘The King’s Memoirs Vol 3’. It was inspired in 2019, I wanted to put some of my older music back out that really held a special place in my heart. I felt as if I was leaving it all in the past during the transition into cultivating my new sound, and I never wanted myself or anyone else to forget the progress I’ve made throughout all these years. So I came up with this idea, and from it was born ‘The King’s Memoirs Vol. 1” he said.
The record is a concise and straightforward record that is highly replayable due to Beloved’s wits to make rap sound so easy to listen to, and his ability to offer more than straight raps. He has soul, perfect timing, character, thoughtfulness, and is an avid storyteller.
Although he is forced to rap through his troubles, the “Napkin” artist is definitely lucid in song, and has a bright future ahead of him. His EP’s last year also catapulted him to arguable notoriety as he potentially released his best work to date through the melancholic-entrenched project with tracks like “Intimate” and “My Bitch Don’t Love Me”, especially the latter where he utilizes his vocal chord and reverb to maximum delight as he channels his distraught at his uncontented lover.
