Jake Griffus Tackles Tough Issues On “Candlelight”
California-based lyricist Jake Griffus sees his music as a form of therapy. Delivering conscious bars and covering various topics, he taps into parts of the listener’s mind, helping them through the darkness into the healing light. With a new album on the way, he gets things started with the release of a new single, “Candlelight”.
Produced by Entheogenesis Productions, “Candlelight” finds Jake grapples with heavy topics such as suicidal tendencies and fighting demons. With his unique wordplay, he paints a dark picture of what people are going through, and finds himself trying to help others out of that darkness. Although “Candlelight” is not a typical Hip Hop track, listeners will find themselves hitting rewind to see the vivid pictures Jake Griffus paints. Accompanying the single is a music video that further amplifies his lyrics. “Candlelight” will be featured on Jake’s forthcoming, full-length 2021 release, “The Operator”.
Growing up in Palmdale, California, Jake Griffus’ love for music started at a very early age, as he was exposed to various artists in his neighborhood and in the media. Having difficulties expressing himself, it was Hip Hop that helped him to find his voice and gave him the space to share his thoughts and talent. As a rapper, he saw that his music was like rehab that could assist many who deal with different struggles. As a member of Secondhand Thieves and Entheogenesis Productions, he provides politically charged lyrics, and conscious bars that will find him in good company among many of Hip Hop’s greats.
Jake Griffus’ “Candlelight” is now available on all digital music streaming platforms with distribution through CD Baby. The music video for “Candlelight” is now available for viewing on Secondhand Thieves’ official YouTube channel.
