.@Keznamdi Delivers A Powerful Message In “Identity Crisis”


The world is going through some things that have changed the people we’ve interacted with each other, and live lives day to day. As we advance in various fields, we have lost values and morals. Recording Artist Keznamdi has seen a lot in his time, and wants to make a contribution that will assist in bettering the world. He shares his message in, “Identity Crisis“.

Produced by Off Grid and Llamar “Riff Raff” Brown, Keznamdi shares his observations on “Identity Crisis”. The world is ever-evolving, but corruption has grown at a rapid rate, crime is more rampant, people have chosen to follow paths that are more immoral, and true identity is being lost among many. Kez presents a message in hopes that it reaches the listener in the right way, and encourages changes for the better because it will get worse if there are no positive moves made. The track is accompanied by a Music Video, which was  co-directed by Keznamdi and Nathanael Amani. Some will sell their soul for the “good life“, others will modify their natural beauty to appease to societal norms, some will do anything for “likes” and validation from people who don’t care about them, we just hope entries like “Identity Crisis” does its part to make a difference in this crazy world.
