Video: Roll In Peace (Remix) By ElceeTheArtist

Rate this post
Just two days before the start of 2018, ElceeTheArtist released his remix of Kodak Black and XXXTENTACIONโ€™s โ€œRoll In Peaceโ€. The remix is a decidedly Toronto treatment that can be heard in the differences between the flows, and the word choice. Thereโ€™s another two nods to Toronto that youโ€™ll find in the video as well. Observant viewers will recognize the setting of the visuals as CF Shops at Don Mills. The second nod is undoubtedly Elceeโ€™s frosted breath. Toronto residents ought to be familiar with both of those. The remix is also a distinctly Elcee treatment as well. The switch between melodic choruses and rapped verses is blended with harmonizedย vocal adlibs, something that has come to define Elceeโ€™s style as an artist blending the lines between rap and R&B. At just under two minutes, the remix is a straight to the point reimagining of the track. Instead of taking themes from Kodak Blackโ€™s original, ElceeTheArtist instead lets the beat dictate the emotion and topic. The resulting track is a lot like many Torontonians: Foreign born, but distinctly Torontonian at heart.
