Zehbrah's latest single, "V Timely," tells the story of a person growing up as an artist in 2020 with an emotionally thoughtful alternative hip-hop sound. An anthem for all the fiercely independent (and occasionally naive) kids taking charge of their destinies, the track is a smooth throwback that harkens back to childhood being as simple as it was wrong. Based on the Marvel character Victor Timely, Zehbrah demonstrates lyrical storytelling while approaching self-awareness.
Lyrics like ''I recall creating memories, Autumn Breeze I remember whispering trees'' paint a scene of dreams at their most youthful with all the potential they possess. The song's production is just as alluring, with calm beats interspersed with faster spaces to keep you from dwelling. With introspective bars like “change the timeline like a Victor timely,” Zehbrah assures you that no matter what antics life tries to throw, you can always play right back.
More than merely a song, “V Timely” stands as an anthem for anyone who's ever felt burdened by expectation or the pull of their own potential. Expertly toeing the line between honest misery and optimism, Zehbrah has made a track that serves as equally beautiful as it is encouraging. It is the perfect marriage of vibe, depth, and intricate storytelling that exemplifies some of Zehbrah's most dynamic work yet captures the essence of alternative hip-hop at its best.
