The entirety of Downtown Dion‘s visual for “Pain” is a shroud; visually sinister, while boasting cinematography of a person very fond of shadows and grizzly scenarios, and verbally acidic. The tale in this case is a very common one, seen plenty of times in hip-hop: a ballad about the grit involved in growing up in a lower income neighborhood, with an uncomfortable mesh of good and bad individuals and influences.
Just a few weeks back, Dion also released “Only” via VIBE, which is acting as the lead single off his upcoming project, Swoop Dreams. Both tracks have a certain melancholy to them to match the tale of Dion: a once aspiring basketball player, who’s life spiraled into hustling, then found its way into the rap culture. When asked about “Only,” Dion told VIBE:
“The money is symbolic for my dreams. There are always people out there that are looking to get in the way of your dreams. The dreamkillers! You can’t let them. The song “Only” to me is the start of something historic, the start of a unique sound from Harry and myself.”
