Philly-based emcee Artimes Prime unleashes a gritty new single “Guardian Knight” produced by Digital Crates. Artimes also announced the release date of his forthcoming third studio album, Beer & Cookies via Instagram. The album is an unconventional blend of Pop and Classic Hip-Hop that optimally showcases his knack for songwriting and ambitious ear.
Guardian Knight is an anthem-style song off “Beer & Cookies” for individuals who feel themselves to be honest, true, and pure in their craft. This is an anthem for the world’s hardworking, honest citizens. It’s also about maintaining the authenticity of Hip-Hop. Artimes demonstrates his abilities to stretch and bend his rhymes, seamlessly switch flows and cadences, and mould it all into a variety of sounds on the single.
Prime’s discography is an adventure across the same diverse art he grew up listening to. It’s not just your stereotypical raw raps over gritty and Boom-Bap production. Prime’s music fuses disparate sounds to perfection while giving the listener something to ponder. Speaking about the single, Prime said, “This is an anthem for the hard-working honest people in the world. It’s also about keeping hip-hop authentic. I used J Cole’s idea of throwing the crown away, and added to it by saying I am basically a Guardian Knight of hip hop.”
