Cloak The Scribe Drops Electrifying New Single, “Man, Listen,” Featuring Sinatris

Rising from the soul-stirring streets of Chicago, Cloak The Scribe returns with a powerful new single, “Man, Listen,”marking the lead track from his highly anticipated concept album, No Sleep Till Success. Known for his unmatched lyrical precision and soulful storytelling, Cloak delivers a track that commands attention. The song features fellow emcee and lyricist Sinatris, and is produced by the talented Epik The Dawn, whose drum-filled instrumental serves as the perfect backdrop for this dynamic collaboration.

The track’s clear and crisp sound was perfected under the careful engineering of Desharon Newcombe (Famnorf) at Pots and Pan Audio, resulting in a polished product that captures the raw energy and creativity of this underground sensation. “Man, Listen” blends a soulful vibe with hard-hitting, gritty beats, showcasing Cloak’s impeccable flow and Sinatris’ sharp wordplay. With influences from legendary artists like Tupac Shakur, this track is more than just music—it’s a declaration.

A Love Letter to Chicago

For Cloak The Scribe, Chicago isn’t just a backdrop; it’s the heart of his story. Raised in the Windy City, Cloak reflects on how it shaped him into the artist he is today. As he puts it, “Chicago is my birthing grounds. Everything I learned about being a solid individual, hard worker, hustler, strong spirit, and even gangster to a point, came from growing up in Chicago.” The city’s influence can be heard in every verse, in every bar, as Cloak channels the toughness, resilience, and hustle that defines his hometown.

Cloak’s journey in hip hop has always been deeply tied to his roots, from his early hit, “Chicago Done It Again” from Life Music, Vol. 1: Hip-Hop Lives, to his critically acclaimed debut album, Dreams of A Giant. Each release has shown the evolution of an artist rooted in authenticity and pride for his city. “Man, Listen” continues that legacy, with a level of confidence and passion that is unmistakable.

“Man, Listen”: A Call to Attention for Independent Artists

“Man, Listen” is more than just a track—it’s a statement. From the first note, Cloak makes it clear that this is his moment to shine. With its sharp bars, potent energy, and infectious hooks, the song challenges the complacency of mainstream music while elevating the power of independent artists. Cloak’s lyrics, backed by Sinatris’ solid verse, bring a message of ambition, hustle, and self-determination:

“Man listen, we just here to get lifted /
Spit slick, flip on the game and have it shifted /
Flip quick, lost y’all way, y’all straight drifted /
Split grip, all money in, and we gifted.”

This isn’t just about making noise in the music industry—Cloak is here to revolutionize it. “Man, Listen is about getting the industry’s attention,” says Cloak. “It’s about putting it on notice that the Independent/DIY artists are here, we the new standard, we’re here to stay, and we now operate outside and within the Matrix.” The song is a call to arms for independent artists who have been overlooked and underappreciated for far too long. Cloak is staking his claim and urging others to do the same.

The Perfect Team for an Anthem

Behind every great track is a team that makes it happen, and “Man, Listen” is no exception. With a soulful yet hard-hitting beat crafted by Epik The Dawn, the track’s production adds layers of intensity that complement Cloak’s commanding flow. Sinatris, featured on the song, adds a razor-sharp verse that elevates the track’s energy even further, making for a seamless collaboration.

The song’s polished, crisp sound is a result of meticulous mixing and mastering by Desharon Newcombe (Famnorf) at Pots and Pan Audio, ensuring every element of the track comes through clean and clear. The track’s artwork, designed by Chywanda Walker (C. Snappa), enhances the song’s powerful visual aesthetic, making it a cohesive experience for both the ears and eyes.

Cloak’s latest work will dive deep into themes of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of success, drawing from his own experiences in both the music industry and life itself. If “Man, Listen” is any indication, No Sleep Till Success will be a masterclass in lyrical artistry and production, further solidifying Cloak’s position as one of the underground scene’s most compelling voices.
