Erik Evy has dropped off a fresh video for his song “Down Stream”. Evy is a 26 year-old Chicago-based artist who has an exceptional touch with capturing emotions and stories. Influenced by J Cole, Mac Miller, and Amine, he challenges his listeners with different themes with each of his new projects. He expresses tenderness, while flaunting the confidence to win freestyle competitions in Chicago, and opening for Wifisfuneral. Evy’s creativity is infectious, his lyriciscim is expansive, and he captures every emotion in what it means to be human. His latest video for “Down Stream” opens up a new chapter for him, as he puts his heart forth atop warm, dream-like production across strong vocals.

“Down Stream”‘s effectiveness lies in its simplicity- as it strips back any pretension for a “take it as it is” feel that is engrossing from the get-go. Neglecting glitz and glamor in favor of a down-to-earth offering, Evy connects with listeners and provides a refreshing offering that sets itself apart. Further bolstered by its DIY approach, “Down Stream” is a self-filmed video that Evy pieced together on his own, capturing the track’s easy-going yet independent mood.

Working hard to lay down a foundation in Chicago and beyond, Evy continues to make progress in leaps and bounds and experiment with new sounds, and “Down Stream” finds him taking on an engaging new direction.
