Kasim Keto “4sale” [video]
New York based producer Kasim Keto has announced the release of his sophomore album, Endless Night. Serving as the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed debut, Long Car Rides (2013), Endless Night preserves the lane Kasim built for himself while displaying his growth, not only as a producer, but as an artist overall.
Kasim’s debut album, Long Car Rides, garnered widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. Shake of 2dopeboyz described the album as “perfect for those late night car rides through town…or even when you’re chilling in the crib dolo…This is fantastic stuff.†Joe Rivers of Clash Magazine raved, “the soundscapes Keto creates transport you to a more relaxing, far less hectic place….it’s a place you’ll want to visit again and again.†Since Long Car Rides, Kasim’s music, including his collaboration with Roc Marciano, has been featured in the cult film Kid Cannabis, while Kasim has spent the majority of his time focused on the creation of Endless Night.
Endless Night’s title is derived from the feeling Kasim experienced each evening during the album’s creation. Kasim would spend his days in the studio working on the album, only leaving in the late hours of the evening for a twilight drive. Each drive that Kasim went on would end the same; he would zone out while listening to what was created during each session and only to eventually realize that he had been driving until sun came up. He described these late-night drives as feeling like an ‘endless night.’
With the announcement of the album also comes the release of the first single and music video from Endless Night, “4sale.†The video which was directed by Mosaic New York is loosely based on visual artist Robert Longo’s seminal “Men in the Cities†series. “4sale†which was shot in locations throughout New York , emphasizes the range of emotions people experience on a daily basis, as Kasim’s upbeat instrumentation and ghostly vocals serves as a backdrop.
