Sareem Poems & Ess Be drop EYEDENTITY, the latest single from their forthcoming release MIND OVER MATTER, on Illect Recordings

After three years of writing, developing, and preparing new music, Sareem Poems, and Ess Be are back with ‘Mind Over Matter’. Releasing via Illect Recordings, Mind is the second full-length project from the Lansing, Michigan-based MC and producer duo. Their first album on Illect, 2015’s ‘Beautiful Noise’, was a highly motivational record based around positivity and perseverance. ‘Mind Over Matter’ is definitely in the same vein as Noise, but it’s clear that as they worked on the new project, Poems and Ess Be weren’t afraid to dive deeper into who they’ve become as artists.

From start to finish, ‘Mind Over Matter’ takes on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Employing his signature measured flow, Poems discusses political divisiveness, the dangers of succumbing to greed, loving yourself, and economic inequality in the United States.

Sareem shares, “Eyedentity, is a song about self-reflection. It’s often the things that make us unique, that are the targets of teasing in our youth. Skin tone, facial features, height, freckles, hair etc. Many times this ridicule progresses into self-hate. How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought, I hate ________… you fill in the blank”.

He continues, “My hope is for this song to be an encouragement to whoever hears it. Be bold in loving yourself just as you are. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are beautiful because the creator created you that way… not because someone tells you that you are, see for yourself”.
