about

Having toured with SABA and collaborated with the likes of Mick Jenkins, jazz-based artist Louis VI is back with his latest release ‘Nature’. Closely aligned to his roots in Dominica and Hurricane Maria, Louis VI seeks refuge in his latest creation.

The accompanying visuals see the act in various locations across London dancing and singing with a mic, which hints at how alone these natural disasters can leave the individual. It also articulates a joyful rebellion that tributes the natural production of art.

lyrics

One time for your f****ng mind
Two time if your moving slow
Three times if you on the grind
Fourth time if you wanna grow
I’m out here tryna make my mind
But they out here tryna dam my flow
But hell nooo feel like they tryna snatch our souls
My lord
My lord

Let the wind blow
Soon come when our wings grow
Rain punch at the window
Hold hands while we sing slow
Rain Bust shots at tin home
But where there’s death a ting grow
Out the ash the green poke
Sweet bitter, Bittersweet smoke
Respect the nature
Western world the maker of this angry nature
Burning oil heat our oceans until they vapour
Hurricanes blow
Landing on those that didn’t make her
How’s that’s fair bro?
Suffering from the waste of another mans petrol
Torn like paper when I heard that Death toll
Look fam, come on fam!

One time for your f****ng mind
Two time if your moving slow
Three times if you on the grind
Fourth time if you wanna grow
I’m out here tryna make my mind
They out here tryna dam my flow
But hell nooo feels they tryna snatch our souls
My lord
My lord

Tell me now
I’m tryna be the best of me
My ancestors put unrest in me
Tryna be the best way to see
I’m tryna move like the black sands Bubble like the seas
Love the recipe
From Dominica to London g
From the nature island
Where volcanoes raise the highest
Safe asylum
Raised from violence
Slavery made for Midas
But we choose the way of kindness
Fruit taste like brightness
Hummingbirds sway in lilac
Badman put bass to fire
Island where seeds are making giants
Now the island where seas are breaking iron

One time for your f****ng mind
Two time if your moving slow
Three times if you on the grind
Fourth time if you wanna grow
I’m out here tryna make my mind
They out here tryna dam my flow
But hell nooo feels they tryna snatch our souls
My lord
My lord
