Columbus native Dom Deshawn 's new single "Autumn Prologue" is a snapshot of his life and the recent struggles he is going through. The somber record produced by Dre Rodner is ripe with soulful textures and warm basslines that form the perfect canvass for the rapper to paint a picture of pain, hope, and finding the courage to push through it all without breaking apart. Written during a tough time in his life where his dad and grandmother were hospitalized, losing his job, and recent heartbreak, Deshawn details his frustrations on wax and uses his creativity as an outlet. Armed with his smooth flow and vivid lyricism, he takes listeners through it all while also sharing hope for anyone going through similar situations.
For the visuals, he taps the talent of Columbus-based filmmaker Ted Cadillac who helps him capture the essence of a fall day in a midwest town, my home of Columbus, OH. Using a long performance shot of the rapper in his element, we see Dom performing the track while savoring the mellow aesthetic of the surroundings made up of orange, burgundy, and yellow leaves resting comfortably on the road.
The track will be featured on his upcoming project, Tale of Two Seasons, dropping towards the end of Feb.
