Emerging rapper Lil Snvrk just dropped a new single, “Back To My Roots,” in which he delves deeper into his personal process and background within the music business. Notoriously known for his raw, honest lyricism, Lil Snvrk is 17 years old, so he is ready to take the game by storm with a strong narrative in his own inimitable manner.
“Back to My Roots” follows Lil Snvrk in his journey through themes of betrayal, resilience, and self-discovery. It talks about his ordeal in the music industry: first, he struggled with Playboi Carti’s short-lived Opium Records, then at Interscope/UMG, he was ghosted. Only the aggravation of adversities sustains his creative drive, further solidifying another song that breathes raw emotion and authenticity.
These are the actually pungent lyrics that “Back To My Roots” holds: confrontational, giving the listener a serious sense of being overlooked and blackballed in the industry. As seen in lines such as “Carti saw I put the work in, and then he lowered my exposure,” he had the same kinds of clashes that Lil Snvrk found himself equally dealing with as he tried to carve out his scene in the music. Both intense and introspective, his delivery takes you on a journey through these personal struggles and changes.
Born Caleb Gottfried on September 16, 2006, in Brooklyn, NY, Lil Snvrk has been making music since 2016 and began a professional career in the year 2021. His early forays into rap and a genre-bending blend of hip-hop and narrative storytelling brought him quick attention in the music world, which agreed pretty fast to enable him to chart on several streaming services independently. As an affiliate of A$AP Mob and AWGE, he has managed to build a niche for himself despite numerous challenges.
Even before “Back to My Roots” is put out, Lil Snvrk has already made a name for himself with these prior tracks. Most personal experiences and feelings are what he writes about, often giving one a view into his world. It was this delivery that made his lyrics unique and that had him slowly build a fan base and critical acclaim: one artist proving that you can make it without major label backing.
Beyond his music, Lil Snvrk is a designer in fashion and an early investor in Bitcoin. His entrepreneurial skills are evident from the fact that he has built his own sublabel, Snarkotics. In combining streetwear looks in his work with the identity of his unique brand, he shows his ability to flow creatively with the present trends and exist in this industry in a multifaceted manner.
In the public fallout, amidst the controversies, conflicts, and Playboi Carti’s once-affiliated ties with Homixide Gang, Lil Snvrk had more than enough determination to still chisel his artistic growth. His beef with Carti and the label was based on betrayal and unprofessionalism, something that would be inculcated in his music by churning records to speak to his crowd and validate why he was hurt.
“Back To My Roots” discusses this honesty, very well narrated by Lil Snvrk. It is one track that is going to relate to most of his audiences and further solidify his move into the hip-hop industry. He is looking forward to going on tour, supporting the Diss tracks, and engaging with fans around the world.
“Back To My Roots” is yet another chart-topping success in the musical career of Lil Snvrk. It is very affirming of his ardent truth in his art and commitment to his craft, and his new single is proof of that resilience and dedication. “Back to My Roots” is out on all major streaming platforms.
