The rapper and songwriter known as
South Maine has released his latest single, “Salute.” The track
has been published on the Indie Music Factory independent record
label, under which umbrella such acts as Sina, Cell Spitfire,
Treasured Peace and others have gained widespread popularity. A
pounding urban anthem with a booming back beat, galvanized by
electrifying lines and rhymes, “Salute” is the latest sign that
rapper South Maine and the Indie Music Factory label are names to
watch in the 21st century.
South Maine cites as main artistic
influences T.I., Ludacris, Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac Shakur, the Notorious
B.I.G., and Andre 3000 (formerly of OutKast). His signature,
in-your-face delivery is directly in the spotlight on “Salute,”
each chorus bringing the rap fan to the foot of the stage with South
Maine as if he were performing live in the listener's room. This
explosive, powerful, sonic undertow is a palpable quality of South
Maine's, and one which fans of the genuine urban-American sound are
sure to feel as soon as the track begins.
Speaking of the lyrical content of his
new single, South Maine writes, “It doesn't matter where you come
from. If it's something you want to do in life, go after it. Prime
example, I'm from Arkansas and people tell me everyday nothing will
ever happen for me.”
Proving these naysayers wrong is a
daily event for South Maine, whose “Salute” has been climbing
online charts since its appearance on October 8th.
“South Maine is a rare talent and we
are excited about introducing that rare talent to the world,” Indie
Music Factory's business-affairs manager, Knowledge Stevens, told GTN
News in Gainesville, FL.
Having been performing rap music since
the young age of 12, South Maine is both a born natural and a
practiced veteran of the sound.
“Music is my life so I’m-a live
it,” he told GTN News. “This journey began with being able to
write in ways that catch the ear. Seeing the power of word play, I
began to structure poems and love letters into what I then-thought
was real music.”
Fans of South Maine and of rap in
general can look forward to a healthy dose of honesty from the
up-and-coming artist.
“My inspiration comes from truth and
life experiences,” he said, “so I vow to forever give you me.”
“Salute” by South Maine is
available online worldwide.
