DMV artist Roc Writah Drops New Single “Reality Check”

Up-and-coming DMV artist Roc Writah releases his new single “Reality Check” as a kick-start to the new quarter of 2023. Roc Writah explores his sound with the bass-boosted beat, as he brings the single painting the picture of his about come up and the missing piece to the game. The DMV artist release each year in March to commemorate his birthday. “Reality Check” is another hard hitting single produced by Nikonor (Complaints and Complacency) that puts us at the center of self.

Writah’s first line is a gritty war line, “Anybody can get it, that’s where my mental at.” Which you would think is a warning shot to peers and other artists alike, but the video tells a different story. We are presented with double meaning, and I believe Roc is also talking to himself. He is seen running through the night with a bruised eye socket and blood on his face. Who he is attempting to flee is not shown until we get a seconds glimpse at the very end of his shadow, being in the form of a monstrous creature. Is he frightened by himself? “Conquer your inner beast or lose it all in the process” is displayed at the end, which sums up the colorful illusions in the video, and battles we face as humans each day. As humans, it seems that we always have an uphill battle to climb. And despite the darkness, Roc chooses to bring his to the light.
