Last month TSA came through and released some new visuals for his ‘Shine’ song. This track is said to serves as a good introduction to the artist by showcasing his signature flow and his world-class production chops. TSA has always been quite soulful with the music and this one is one of many records that best represent that. The @bambathajones directed music video mostly finds TSA performing the tune in what looks like some central park/hub during the nighttime dressed in black.
The instrumental has a smooth flow, reminiscent of 90s hip hop icons such as Biggie Smalls or A Tribe Called Quest, but with an even more crisp sound, toning down the grimy lo-fi and enhancing the clarity of the performance. The vocals are articulate, but TSA isn’t just trying to fill the gaps by spitting out words like a machine gun: he is really listening for the melodic elements of the song, providing a great lead to a soothing, yet energetic track.
“Shine” is a strong indication of greater things to come from TSA, and it’s definitely a sign that people should have this artist on their radar.
