Se'von - Pain
Artist: Se'von
Producer: International [for Levy Beats Productions]
Album: My Life Your Movie (Tentative Title)
Label: Poetik Ent.
Booth newcomer Se’von‘s MySpace bio may compare the Motown-born, Atlanta-based up-and-comer to Jon Bon Jovi and Journey, but heads shouldn’t let that scare them off; rest assured, potential single Pain features neither freaky Steve Perry falsetto nor Rebirth-esque hard-rock posturing. In fact, aside from the reverb-drenched guitar sample that rings in the background of International‘s tension-fraught production, the record is hip-hop through and through – especially Se’von’s lyrically-focused verses, which find him drawing attention to the “misery and suffering” that plague inner-city neighborhoods everywhere. Speaking out on injustices in the American legal system, single parents’ struggles to keep food on the table, and even the sexual misconduct of clergymen, the emcee paints a bleak but compelling portrait of poverty and hardship. This promising up-and-comer’s latest LP, tentatively titled My Life Your Movie, is set to drop sometime this summer, but in the meantime, fans can watch Se’von romance a “Masochistic Chick” on this ‘08 episode of BET series Hell Date. Yes, I’m serious.

When Se’von sent us "Pain" I was on the fence about featuring it. However, after my entire music staff approved and suggested it for feature, I couldn't help but be swayed.
Dope sample + head nodding beat + artist who says something real = rotation for Z.

Trying to figure out how to say this without copying and pasting Dj Z's post.
F*k it, the man said it best: "Dope sample + head nodding beat + artist who says something real = rotation." Second that.

This song has all the elements of a great song whether its hip hop or not. It has one of the best hooks I've ever heard. I was singing along the first time that I heard it and my head was bobbing from instinct. Then, to seal the deal, Se'von's words flowed perfectly and touched my heart at the same time. Phenomenal song. I could listen to it all day anyday

I love "Pain" - deep-real lyrics with a smooth delivery that people can relate to and feel and beat that keeps you movin! Se'von's music is refreshing and brings music back to where it should be! His music is timeless!! Se'von IS what the industry has been waiting for and needs!!!

A very timely track by a passionate artist. The first lyricists to catch my attention in quite a while. He definitely has "X"- factor missing from today's music scene. I would love to hear more from Se’von. Keep up the good work!
