Otis Mensah Explores Anxiety & Fear With 'Breath of Life'
Hailing from Sheffield, Otis Mensah combines vivid storytelling with atmospheric and experimental Hip-Hop sounds. Titled Sheffield’s poet laureate in 2018, Otis has worked and toured with heavyweights such as Benjamin Zephaniah, KOTA the Friend, Open Mike Eagle, Mahalia and Blu & Exile.
‘Breath of Life’ explores anxiety, fear and claustrophobia set against a chilled jazz-inspired production. Breath of Life is part of Otis Mensah’s forthcoming project, #OtisMensahExists, a visual and audio compilation exploring the talented wordsmith’s relationships with isolation, technology and society.
The single is the first release from #OtisMensahExists, with a planned new single to be released every 3 weeks commencing Tuesday 26 May, accompanied by original animations from Sheffield illustrator Jim Spendlove.
