Following on from his debut release “No Typos” in July, London’s emerging rapper Mole is back with his sophomore single, “Dalai Lama”. Using his voice for the greater good, the newcomer weaves lyrical substance over up-beat production to form easy listens that challenge societal norms. A breath of fresh air in a soundscape that champions virality, Mole’s authentic approach has gained him appraisal online from Mixtape Madness, Wordplay, The Pit, Ones To Watch and more.
In suit with his debut release, “Dalai Lama” continues to explore mental health issues and how the medication provided isn’t always the first answer. Unraveling a candid perspective, “Dalai Lama” dives deeper into Mole’s personal history with prescription drugs, its affects on him growing up, whilst highlighting the hypocrisy of the justice system enabling doctors to administer pharmaceutical drugs to young people so freely. Underlined with an up-beat production, Mole opens a lane of duality; allowing the listener to simply enjoy the vibe of the track or listen to its deeper message. Paired with creative visuals we follow Mole around various locations through artistic shots adding to his innovative approach.
When asked about the release Mole explained,
“This song is a feel-good sounding opposition to pharmaceutical drugs being prescribed to young adults. The listener gets to decide whether to take in the message or just vibe to the mix – either way an experience is guaranteed.”
Hailing from South-West London with a Swedish background, Mole’s forming a wave that combines vibey instrumentals with creative lyricism. The rap riser wants to create a safe space for his listeners that steers away from the commercial sound that’s currently taking over the music industry. Housing previous support from BBC Introducing, Melita at BBC Introducing South, Mixtape Madness, The Pit LDN, VIPER Magazine, Ones To Watch, Wordplay Magazine, and more, Mole is gearing supporters up for a promising journey ahead.
Dalai Lama is available now via all major platforms.
