Texas based rapper Troy Remedy knows that the world looks to be in more and more disarray these days, and it’s important to get back to basics in your faith and showing love for your fellow man or woman.
He has released the track “Faith in God,” which has an old school vibe and a message that hopefully can combat some of the divisiveness amongst each other and within ourselves .
“The message is really simple,” he said. “You have to have faith in God. During these tumultuous times we’re bickering, angry, and it has shown our own vitriol towards one another. I had to take a step back because I was falling into all that madness and getting swept up in its grasp. Differences amongst ourselves is what made us unique but now it seems we can't see past the anger. I’m not gonna argue with how you think or feel. It’s us not messing with each other that hurts the most. We should be able to deal with each other like we used to for so many years prior.”
“It feels like I’m losing my mind
Taking losses time after time
I’ve been walking down a road that is far too hard
But I know I gotta keep my faith in God.”
Troy said that this track is essentially a confessional.
“I know I’m not a saint,” he said. “I’m a sinner for sure, but I’ve gotta get right too.”
“Feels like I’m chasing after ghosts
While we’re at each other’s throats
Remember days when we all cling to hope
Clinging just to cope”
The track has an inspirational feel, with Troy Remedy singing “The universe and the value of life is paramount.”
Troy Remedy is originally from West Texas, growing up in cities like Dallas and Houston. He has always been a bit of an underdog, and music has been a remedy for pain and an outlet that has saved him. He loves the golden era of hip-hop and soul music, while incorporating his own flow and ideas.
He got into music and hit the ground running with it, but sometimes he admitted it could be an uphill battle. He said every project is getting stronger and better, as he harnesses his craft and tightening up his skills.
“I make my music based on life experiences,” he said. “Definitely the hurdles and the ups and downs. You see certain signs and it feels like God speaking to you in certain ways. That’s where you’ve got to pay attention.”
Troy started off his music career by making beats, and he continues to do so to this day. He also works with producer Dreamlife Beats, who made the beat for “Faith in God.”
“Every project is different,” he said. “It’s instinctual if anything. Whatever you are going through in life, you plug in play. Sometimes a beat can just be perfect.”
“Faith in God” was one of those scenarios, with Troy called the beat “gorgeous, smooth and with a blues feel to it.”
“It feels like you’re in an old school, Memphis, Tennessee type joint,” Troy said. “You hear that and you’re like, ‘Oh man!’ It takes you back to the old days and old tunes, and the feeling of that blues vibe. Personally this was me going through things and having faith in God. You can start questioning yourself and the world around you, but you just have to have that faith.”
The track was written just a few months ago and he said it is one of those situations where this just flowed out of him. Sometimes as track will take him two minutes to write, but other situations will be a months long process.
“Faith in God” is part of an upcoming album called My Own Worst Enemy, which is still in the works with a release date to be determined. This album is about seeing how far he can push himself as an artist, and getting out of his comfort zone with certain beats. It is also about reflecting on himself and the world around him. Next on his list is the track “Unity,” which should be out in about a month.
“Unity is going to be dope,” he said. “It’s got church organs and just a really dope song. I just finished producing this and it’s my baby.”
Troy Remedy is a rapper who gives it 100% with plenty of heart and soul. Every. Single. Time.
“Every time I drop a project, it’s gonna be hot,” he said. “There’s gonna be some heat. I can guarantee that. It’ll have quality lyrics, good beats and all the essentials to hip-hop.”
