Reaffirming why he’s one of the most compelling voices shaping the new wave of soulful hip-hop, Ovrkast. delivers “I’m On” with unfiltered precision. Reflecting on the project, Ovrkast. shared:
It took a loooooooong time to get to this point. I had to go through immense change, loss, and growth to receive the clarity and focus needed to create this album. It’s my favorite work so far.
The performance follows his equally magnetic DSCVR rendition of 6AM, also sponsored by Boost Mobile as part of Vevo’s ongoing campaign to spotlight breakthrough artists through immersive, branded live sessions. His cadence drifts between reflection and resolve, grounded in the same minimalist production sensibility that earned him early praise from Earl Sweatshirt and Cardo. A lyricist, producer, and self-taught visionary, Ovrkast. continues to merge soul and simplicity. With “I’m On,” he turns self-belief into scripture, and the DSCVR stage into confession.
