“Heard what I Heard” is the newest release from Anon. The track and accompanying music video acts as part 2 to his previous single “Medicated,” and once again Anon aims to raise awareness around mental health issues with his trademark stark realism and story-telling approach to rap. The haunting and highly original music video continues from part 1, this time we are taken into a morgue to let Anon continue the story he started.
Anon penned the song after he tried to take his own life several times within a short period. Having had enough of the frustration, picking up a pen was his only option to convey his feelings. Produced by AnTiLiFe, the bittersweet chorus hook, which comes courtesy of vocalist Mick Pankhurst lays a melodic foundation for the stripped back delivery from Anon as he tells the listener just how easy it can be to spot signs someone is contemplating suicide, by openly talk about his own personal experiences.
No newbie to the scene, going under a different name in his teens Anon performed alongside acts such as N-Dubz, Big Narstie and Bashy. For many years though due to mental health, Anon cut himself off from the world, watching the scene from afar. Knowing the talent and love for music was always lying within him, he has now made it his musical mission to raise awareness whilst helping others find the confidence to speak up and seek help. Using word play and heartfelt lyrics he highlights the importance of mental health by openly talking about his own battles with borderline personality disorder and how he’s overcome dark times to find his return to music.
Now signed to Defenders Ent, expect further singles and an EP this year.
