"U.N.I.T.Y" by Kestine
U.N.I.T.Y
Influenced by the recent Black Lives Matter crusade, Kestine takes an honest approach to racial injustice movements as he spits bars and lays down rhymes about the hypocrisy of those who claim to stand behind the banner of justice and equality.
The powerful and symbolic music video features a poised and eloquent Kestine personifying his words, surrounded by religious imagery - a nod to his upbringing in a spiritual household.
The talented musician draws on his lived experiences, both as a musician and a black man, to create a soulful and passionate track featuring an ensemble of ethereal keys and saxophone driven by a J Dilla-inspired drum backbeat.
U.N.I.T.Y is an ode to Queen Latifhas’ hit namesake track intertwined with Kestine’s interpretation of recent BLM events and his experiences as a black Irishman. The music video was released following the success of Kestine's EP - Reflection - and was directed by Dublin’s Brian McDonnell.
