Yesterday Brooklyn-bred artist, GASHI released two new tracks and an accompanying video for “YouTube Comments” and “Empty Inside” via Honesty Saves Time/RCA Records.
Deeply personal, “YouTube Comments” reflects on actual comments from GASHI’s YouTube page, which shines a light on cyber bullying and the effects of the Internet and social media on one’s emotions. Through these songs, which address the issues head-on, GASHI shows that anyone can experience cyber bullying, but that you can persevere and overcome. If you wrote one of the comments used in the lyrics of “YouTube Comments,” GASHI wants to hear from you.

GASHI on releasing “YouTube Comments” and “Empty Inside”: “These two songs mean a lot to me because ‘YouTube Comments’ gives me the opportunity to let the cyberbullies know that I no longer care what they think or have to say and when you listen it makes you think twice about caring about what other people think of you. ‘Empty Inside’ is the first song where I’m not rapping, I’m singing the entire song, so I’m excited for my fans to hear this other side of me.”
Directed by Shomi Patwary (A$AP Rocky, Beyonce, The Weeknd), the cinematic visual was shot in Los Angeles.
