iamthenublack: Noir

With a laidback voice and beautiful music making skills – Noir is your new favourite emcee.

It’s no longer up there but his song ‘A Wrinkle In Time’ was so amazing, I started making the visuals for it. To date I’ve sent his link to numerous friends and when they hear his music they get that “ugly face” like when you hear good music and you have to bite your lip, squint your eyes and just nod your head.
