East London artist Hak Baker is a musician that comes under an umbrella of genres that stretch from folk, to rap, while even trying his hand at spoken word.

Baker’s latest single, “Bricks in the Wall,” shows where the former grime MC is at with his unapologetic and straight-talking attitude. While on the surface, this latest single sounds like an up-tempo, summer-ready anthem, Hak Baker proves that he’s not afraid to dig deep into his psyche through telling his vivid tales of empirical boredom and the pains that one goes through when in the cycle of working-class struggles.

In the Crash House-directed visuals, the clean edit matches the theme of an endless cycle, calling for undefined unity between all of those who may face the same issues day-to-day. Talking about his latest release, Baker said: “In such times it’s more important than ever to stick together and represent something. Just a reminder to the man with the massive thumb on our heads – we ain’t going nowhere and we’ll party wild with the night in rebellion.”
