*Los Angeles, CA – David Lyn, the younger brother of Grammy award-winning producer IzyBeats (Koffee, Jorja Smith, Lila Iké) has just released his debut single “Can’t Breathe,” produced by Neri Beats, off his upcoming EP set to drop this Summer.
Amid civil and social unrest, the Jamaican American Miami native is using his voice and platform to speak on current issues in the country as it relates to the Black community, most namely racial injustice and police brutality. Following the recent deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd, “Can’t Breathe” is a bold statement to systemic injustices that continue to plague Black America. David Lyn exclaimed “I am upset and my music is a form of release. This is my way of venting while also speaking on the current issues we face in this country. This has to stop! There’s no more room in this world for racism.”
The visuals further amplify David’s emotional lyrics as the video opens with a Nelson Mandela quote. You will then find the leading character (David Lyn) in a chilling monologue, pinned down to a police car fighting to breathe while an officer chokes him as he is restrained. The ending, although traumatic, is a regretful reminder of what has happened way too often – another Black man killed at the hands of police. “Can’t Breathe” is a lyrical and literal testament to being Black in America.
