Zac Clejan, an artist garnering worldwide attention for his unique sound and raw talent with a violin, Clejan has the potential to become a global phenomenon. The self proclaimed ‘Trap Violinist’ combines heavy hitting hip hop/ trap production with melodic violin & vocal elements, and his latest release, Run It Up, exemplifies this formula.
The song emits raw energy and brings the message of living life to the fullest, as shown in the over-the-top cover art and heard in the masterful lyrics delivered by Clejan and Brooklyn rapper Science. By starting the joint with a beautiful violin solo that drops headfirst into a hard-knocking trap beat, it further solidifies Clejan as an artist that isn’t afraid to do things outside the box. Its no secret that Clejan is inspired by his hometown of Atlanta, as he makes sure to rep his city in the story of the song, and he makes sure to pays homage to Scienze’s Brooklyn as well. If you’re looking for a track to hype you up, look no further – Run It Up has arrived.
The collaboration between Clejan and Scienze is a bigger deal than most will realize. It’s the first time Clejan has released a song with another rapper, and you can see the formula he is trying to pioneer by the violin support during Scienze’s verse. The implications of this and how it will play out live are pretty big – hopefully we will be seeing more live instrumentalists providing unconventional support roles in the hip hop scene normally dominated by vocals.
Overall, Run it Up oozes confidence and the notion that if you’re going to do something, do it 100%, because tomorrow isn’t promised. As told in the lyrics Life’s gonna try to hold you back // They gon tell you that you still got time // Any minute this could all fade to black…. // THATS WHY WE // RUN IT UP
Stream Run It Up by Clejan & Scienze is out everywhere, now.
