Caleborate – Contact feat. Kota the Friend (Official Music Video)
Tomorrow, Bay Area hip hop artist Caleborate will release his hotly anticipated new album Light Hit My Skin via TBKTR / AWAL. Featuring collaborations with Duckwrth, Deante’ Hitchcock, redveil and more, the record is a genre-bending affair as Caleborate’s sharp, deft flow, gripping narratives, and charismatic, infectious energy paints a vivid portrait of life as a Northern Californian 20-something. Ahead of the album’s release, he shares a video for the recent lyrically-powered banger “Contact†featuring buzzing Brooklyn rapper Kota the Friend. As Caleb explains, the track is “two MCs from different coasts giving a peek into the worlds and minds of young strivers.†It follows the rapper’s runaway love story “What U Want†and December’s jazzy rap anthem “We Make†(feat. Samaria). Earlier this week he also unveiled an interactive website allowing fans to dive into his world & workspace as an artist — featuring never-before-seen studio takes, intimate details about the creation process, an interactive moodboard and computer desktop, access to various funny photos, videos, and documents of his everyday life.
