Blackheart 39
A few years ago, my contributing writer Sir Julien conducted an illuminating interview with super-producer Swizz Beatz’s son Note Marcato, where he spoke about his upbringing and undeniable love of music. Now, I am proud to present the visual for his first official single entitled, “Blackheart 39.”
Co-produced by Jordan XL, BL$$d and Marcato himself, the infectious banger could serve as a sonic backdrop for an ominous scene in any coming of age story. Brimming with metaphors, Prince Nasir’s (yeah, that’s his government name) tune persuades listeners to become more of their authentic self. “The symbolic meaning behind the Blackheart represents not losing yourself, amongst the masks. Reminding people that they are not heartless,” he says to The Fader.
Be on the lookout for Note Marcato’s EP Beach Bum Limbo, which is slated to drop this summer via Epic Records. For now, check out his music video for “Blackheart 39,” below:
