It’s only fitting that the Camden, N.J. emcee has let his guard down in these visuals, because the track is his most introspective moment on his Your Mother’s Other Son EP. Backed by bluesy production from mentor Salaam Remi, Sweet dips into his past (“never played for any college/ went straight like LeBron James”) and looks to a future he hopes is filled with the finer things.

We get a glimpse of what that all means in this video directed by RAGE (Busta Rhymes, Lil Kim) and edited by Niv Gat (RZA, Guns N’ Roses). Here, RAGE showcases a day in the life of our enigmatic MC, who cooks up breakfast in his crib, hits the beach with his friends, and cruises the coast at sunset. These are aspects of his day to day that could easily change should he get big, but only if he allows them to. And you get the feeling that the Sweet we see in “If I Blow” will remain the same, even if he adds some commas to his bank account.

Your Mother’s Other Son is available for both stream and free download.

Recording under the watch of Grammy-nominated producer Salaam Remi, you’ll catch the rapper, Sweet Da Kid, sporting his signature ski-mask while spitting cocky and smartly-phrased lyrics. Proud to represent his roots in Camden, New Jersey, Sweet credits UGK, MF DOOM and Paul Wall as key influences on his style.

Showcasing his creative clout on his six-track debut EP, executive produced by Salaam, Your Mother’s Other Son, kicks off with “I’m Reloaded.” Boasting the firebrand ad libs of Pain in Da Ass, best known for opening Jay Z’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt, the opener introduces a run of beats produced by Key Wane (whose recent credits include hits for Drake and Big Sean). Sweet Da Kid’s mentor Salaam Remi contributes lilting production for the introspective “When I Blow.” Following the project’s self titled piano laden anthem, the EP concludes with, “Don’t Forget The Name,” an experimental and off-kilter track that has become Sweet Da Kid’s calling card as he drops references to Freaks and Geeks while casting himself as the “thug Robin Hood.”  Consider the Your Mother’s Other Son EP as your official introduction to the man behind the ski-mask.
