Ethos has been a staple in the Cleveland music scene for nearly two decades as a drummer, guitarist, and bassist. Recently he made the switch to hip-hop and based on his new single “Pretty Penny,” it was the right decision.
The track is off his upcoming new album Pluto and immediately stands out. Well produced with some ultra chill late-night beats and a 90s vibe when hip hop was more about the words and the way they were delivered, the track reminds of some classic groups like A Tribe Called Quest and some earlier Lupe Fiasco.
A lot of hip-hop has gone into a direction that doesn’t hit home with me anymore but every so often you find a track like “Pretty Penny” that brings the heart and soul of hip hop back to the fold and gives you hope about the future.
Enjoy a listen to “Pretty Penny” with the music video which we’ve shared below.
