Prymal is a Melbourne based Rapper and Hip-Hop artist. Prymal discovered his passion
later in his childhood, wanting to become one of the greats since then, Prymal started writing in 2017, then recording in 2018, and eventually recording songs, in 2020. Starting production on his debut album, The Eruption Chapter 1. With a focus on storytelling and penmanship, he directs his music to his audience who appreciate his craft.
In lockdown, Prymal, as well as many others were overcome by a drastic vice like
entrapment of isolation. Constantly having to adjust to new laws and what was defined as a ‘New Normal’, it seemed like the web that once weaved a plan for his future had unravelled under his feet as he descended into the seemingly never-ending pit of his own dark chasms. Being a dangerous over-thinker, it was exponentially toxic throughout the days and nights for him to be left in his own mind, needing an outlet, something to direct this venomous lash. And that outlet was rap music.
Now, let me introduce you to Prymal's latest music video, "Breakdown" - a hauntingly
powerful portrayal of his journey through the depths of despair during the COVID lockdowns in Melbourne, which carried the weight of those times as a kind of snowball effect up until April of 2023, with each hurdle he faced building the magnitude of this snowball into what was frankly a boulder of snow.
He had first recorded this song as a draft during 2020 for his demo; Blowing Off Steam. But since then, life just seemed to compact itself more with personal demons. With the final straw being the painful end to a once loving relationship he had with his now ex-girlfriend, sending him back into the depths of darkness he found himself in during the times of his first draft. Prymal once again found himself isolated and strived to numb himself by doing everything and everything he could to distract from his emotions and feelings.
While the breakup was the final straw it certainly wasn’t the only straw. Prymal has
relentlessly seen patterns of betrayal in the form of his peers, but delving deeper still, he’s had to reap the betrayal of some friends he considered himself close to. Taking advantage of his good will. With these individuals in his life being fair weathered, up until the point where they witnessed his personal and musical growth and success, with changing attitudes. Which created the anguish that Prymal had harnessed into the song ‘Breakdown’, and moreover, the album he is cultivating, ‘The Eruption’.
However, rather than succumbing to its clutches, Prymal channelled this pain into his music, transforming it into a beacon of hope. With an unyielding determination to shatter the illusion of isolation. Prymal crafted lyrics of unprecedented vulnerability, baring his soul for the world to witness. It was an audacious act, fraught with trepidation, as he unveiled his darkest demons, providing solace and kinship to those who have tread similar paths of anguish. "Breakdown" also serves as a poignant response to his critics, those who thrive on belittling him both in his personal life and his artistry.
These naysayers revel in casting judgement, yet Prymal stands resolute, confronting his own struggles head-on while they cowardly hide behind a facade of flawlessness. This profound opus is not solely an outlet for Prymal's emotions but a rallying cry for individuals to rise above their pain and embrace their authentic selves and heal. The song serves as a testament to the human spirit, inspiring listeners to conquer their own battles, no matter how daunting. "Breakdown" transcends the boundaries of a conventional anthem; it resonates with every fibre of one's being, pulsating with genuine sentiment and unwavering resolve.
Prymal's story is one of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. From a young age, he found himself standing apart from his peers, marching to the beat of his own drum. While this unique individuality should have been celebrated, it often became a source of alienation. Throughout his formative years, Prymal encountered judgement, teasing, and rejection from his classmates. The social dynamics within school became a breeding ground for cruelty, where those who didn't conform to the norms were often singled out.
It was clear that Prymal's distinct perspective and divergent thinking placed him in a
vulnerable position, exposing him to the harsh realities of bullying. The isolation Prymal experienced had a profound impact on his emotional well-being. He felt like an outsider, unable to connect with his peers on a deeper level. The desire for genuine companionship and acceptance weighed heavily on him, leading to feelings of loneliness and frustration. However, Prymal's spirit remained unbroken. Despite the repeated patterns of mistreatment, he held onto his authenticity and refused to let the negativity define him.
As Prymal progressed through school, the torment gradually lessened. Perhaps it was due to a growing maturity within his peers or the changing dynamics of social interactions. Regardless, Prymal's unwavering sense of self became a beacon of strength that garnered respect from some and indifference from others. Although the scars of his past experiences remained, Prymal embraced his uniqueness with newfound confidence. He recognized that being on a different wavelength from everyone else was not a flaw but rather a gift. His unconventional perspective allowed him to see the world through a lens that others often overlooked.
In recent years, Prymal's life took a positive turn. He began to find like-minded individuals who appreciated and valued his individuality. These newfound connections helped him rebuild his self-esteem and fostered a sense of belonging that he had longed for healing within a community over a shared love of music. In recent years, Prymal's journey has been marked by a remarkable transformation. He has emerged from the shadows of isolation, reclaiming his sense of self with newfound confidence and pride. The weight of judgement imposed by others has been cast aside as he embraces his true identity.
Through perseverance and self-reflection, Prymal has gained an understanding of his worth and the unique qualities that make him who he is. He now sees himself through a lens of clarity and authenticity. This newfound comfort with social interaction is a testament to Prymal's growth and resilience. He has worked diligently to shed the insecurities that once plagued him, replacing them with a sense of self-assurance. Prymal has emerged stronger and more determined to live life on his own terms.
Prymal's story is an inspiring reminder that self-discovery and self-acceptance are powerful tools in overcoming the limitations imposed by others. Through embracing his true self, he has transcended the judgments of ignorance and found liberation in authenticity. His journey serves as a beacon of hope for anyone who has ever felt constrained by societal expectations, encouraging them to break free and celebrate their own unique essence.
If you have yet to immerse yourself in the captivating depths of "Breakdown," I implore you to lend your ears to this transformative masterpiece. It may not be your customary
high-energy anthem, but it possesses a rare essence, pouring forth from the depths of
Prymal's heart and soul. Prepare to be moved, for this symphony of resilience and
introspection will leave an indelible mark upon your very core.
