Terry Presume – “Swimmin’ / PANiCK ATTACK” (Official Video)

Terry Presume, 19, is an unsigned rapper hailing from Golden Gate, FL. His unique style and delivery has earned him a modest following of a couple thousand, but his talent speaks beyond the numbers. His music tackles the issues that he has faced growing up in the underprivileged area of the Golden Gate Estates, and he is looking to put his city on the map. His songs range from chilled-out and upbeat, to dark and aggressive.

This music video showcases two of the tracks from Terry’s upcoming mixtape, “17THAvE”, and shows his versatility as an artist. The first half of the video is set to the song, “Swimmin’ (Interlude)” where Terry both sings and smoothly raps over a chilled-out, vibrant instrumental. The colorful, psychedelic imagery of this portion of the video parallels the message of the song, which creates a longing hopeful atmosphere that all music-lovers will appreciate. It is about the dreams of a brighter future and feeling lost in the world around you. It also addresses the issue of identity that many young artists face. As “Swimmin” closes, the video transitions into the second song, “PANiCK ATTACK”, which is much darker and more aggressive. This bass-heavy track will appeal to those looking for straight-up bars and witty lyrics. This portion of the video purposefully contrasts the previous song as it is filmed in black and white and features unnerving, horror-movie-like imagery. Terry raps in front of a black backdrop while the eerie figure of a pig follows his every move (a subtle reference to the police). The video ends mid-song, leaving the audience hungry for more.
