Optimus: Must Be Class
I get dozens of songs in any one week, some of which I can only listen to once, if time permits.
And, then there are others that makes me want to listen – sometimes ten or twenty times.
Well, I got a song “So Gone” about a week ago, and to tell you the truth it is not likely to ‘gone” out of my mind anytime soon.
The song is a combination with African Boyce, an artiste with an Afrobeat flavour, which is too rich to resist.
The song hits a high note with a theme surrounding relationships, so it’s relatable.
“The girl says she is too much for me
Be a man who is going
To fulfill her needs.
Excuse me if I am shy
But no other girl compares
With only you…”
One can hear every sound of the instrument which makes up this masterpiece, complemented by a music video.
The song featured on Michael “Beatbopper” Hudgins’ “Certified Gold” album has sparked his comment.
“It’s a well-known fact Optimus has been doing good music for some time. This Virginian has a wealth of talent and he definitely shows up his talent in this song which will give him a lot of credit.”
“I have always wanted to have him on one of my platforms, and here he is on my album,”
His dad, Alvin Cox, is a professional basketball referee, but he got his inspiration from Geraldine Trappier, his mother.
“She is my number one fan and a big influence on my music. My history teacher kept telling everyone I have a gift for attracting everyone. It turns out to be my music.”
“I started rapping a bit and playing the piano. And, I would freestyle listening to riddims.”
Optimus recorded his first song as a tribute to his wedding anniversary. Optimus would be heading to Africa to beef up his promotion before year-end.
