Song of The Day: Sway D - "G-Shock"


Sometimes the little things in life, can make everything right in the world, especially if it's a gift from a parent. Sway D from Hi-Lite records, recently dropped his latest single "G-Shock".  At first glance, it seems to be a promotion for a South Korean jewelry/watch company.  But after viewing the video for the track on YouTube, you discover the song, is a whole lot more, and the video offers a feeling of nostalgia, as Sway D gives us a song of reflection from his car.

The opening scenes show us a cute little boy walking with his mother, with a new G-Shock watch in a box. The little boy seems so happy and cherishes the gift long after he gets home. And it seems with the watch, the child is invincible and ready to conquer the world. Later we see Sway D rapping about how blessed his life is. You'll have to watch the video to see what happens next.

The song has a nice beat and flow in Korean, and leaves you feeling good after watching the visual (even if it was made as a deal with the G-Shock watch company). The mv dropped five days ago, on December 29. The track is available on Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play. Watch the music video below...
