The Chicago-born artist taps into a new energy on follow-up EP ‘Divine Timing II’.
07 · 11 · 2024
Epic Eli has bounced back with a brand new EP titled ‘Divine Timing II’.
Leaning into his alternative approach to hip-hop, the Chicago-born artist pieces together a punchy but introspective offering. Across the EP’s seven tracks, Eli flows over bassy, nocturnal productions, infusing his lyricism with home truths and in-depth anecdotes.
Extending the resonance of 2021 debut EP ‘Divine Timing’, Epic Eli illustrates a story of growth and evolution on the sequel. Taking formative steps with the group Digital Leaders, the rhymer forges his own path with tracks like ‘Home’ – a gritty, elastic highlight that taps into melodic rap stylings.
Speaking on the track, Epic Ali shares: “‘Home’ is about honouring an independent woman who takes interest in me. That interest makes me feel like I have a chance to come into her ‘home’, which, in the context of the song, equates to her heart.”
Turning a new page with his latest release, Epic Eli peels back another layer of his artistry, making for a more bold, forward-thinking return. Expanding on the significance of the project, he continues: “Divine timing is something I stand for in every aspect of my life. By staying true to myself, I evolve from every project I release and every goal I achieve.”
