One step further into her decade-spanning career, Gavlyn has shared latest single ‘Activities’.
The track is a blazing offering from the Latin-American rapper, a testament to her journey thus far. Tightening her lyrical flair, braggadocious yet sincere, Gavlyn embraces the highs and lows of her artistic evolution. The hook turns towards the personal and is inspired by her decision to move away from LA, the region in which Gavlyn built her foundations in hip-hop. Beneath the rhymer’s self-assured flows is a bass-heavy, bouncing production, pieced together by fellow producer Hiku.
Gavlyn is no stranger to the rap landscape, boasting 6 albums under her belt. 2012’s breakthrough track ‘What I Do’ landed her on stages across the globe, later performing alongside the likes of Wu-Tang, Mac Miller and Schoolboy Q. It’s this same momentum that caught the attention of taste-maker platform COLORS, inviting the force to showcase standout track ‘Needs’. The current day sees Gavyln backed by a loyal following, attentive to her movements in 2023.
‘Activities’ is a hint towards Gavlyn’s next chapter, one that is yet to be revealed…
She comments: “The track is about freedom, change and growth, how sometimes we need to heal ourselves in order to become a better version of ourselves. It’s about saying goodbye to the old me.”
