Lost - Ceyeo (Rap) What strikes us about this track, what pulls it out of the retro lofi hiphop soundscape it inhabits, are the maturity of the lyrics. With a backing soundscape often used by social conscious rap, Ceyeo’s “Lost” is more ‘mindfulness rap.’ On his latest track, Ceyeo walks us through inner turmoil in a way that is deeply personal and intimate. It is clear that the track is autobiographical, and that Ceyeo has, or has previously had, emotional or mental health struggles. The track is truly special in its grounded take on the all too common issue—Ceyeo does not wallow or complain, he expresses shock over what has happened to him, desire to be better and heal, and struggle to find understanding and the help he yearns for. While we are sorry Ceyeo has had his struggles, the silver lining is this deeply personal and moving track we know will touch others and help them feel seen. We certainly were.
Best Lyric: “I hate not being a stronger person.”
