Element - Augustine
Can trap be touching, emotional and an epic banger at the same time? After hearing Element's "Augustine" the answer is a resounding yes. The impetus behind the track is a heartbreaking one, as it was made while watching over his grandmother in the ICU. This knowledge only amplifies the already chilling choral elements as the darkness surrounds them. It's all done with such aplomb, allowing both the optimism of recovery and the unmistakable despair of such a circumstance to play out. I hesitate to get into more musical specifics, as I fear it would take away from the sheer power, emotional and otherwise, of such an incredible piece of artistry.
