Fresh on the heels of his sophomore album release, Wake Self drops the first video for “So Good” off Good Things Happen to Those Who Wake, which dropped on March 18. The album is a 12-track voyage through the New Mexico native’s mind. Packed with flawless production by PH8, Percy Wells and DJ Young Native, Martinez effortlessly ebbs and flows over each beat with the fluidity of a master. With atypical lyrical content ranging from yoga, energy cleansing and eating organic food to population control, wearing matching flannels with his older brother and social media dumbing down America, Good Things Happen to Those Who Wake is truly one-of-a-kind. He bravely addresses his happiness and depression as a child, self-mutilation, self-empowerment, and starting over. Martinez’s unique topics are the tip of the iceberg. Combined with his intense lyrical acrobatics and impeccable delivery, Martinez is indeed about to wake people up to what “quality hip-hop” means. The video for “So Good” personifies what the album encapsulates.
“The idea of the song is just to set yourself free from any negative static in your life,” Wake says. “The video illustrates that carefree feeling of just being in the moment and enjoying your life to fullest.”
