Finesse Cobain has always carried a weight in his music—a raw honesty that sets him apart from the crowded emotional hip-hop scene. His new single, Chosen, arrives as both a personal declaration and a cinematic statement of resilience. Dark trap beats intertwine with melodic introspection, creating a track that is as hard-hitting as it is heartfelt. The accompanying music video elevates the song into a full sensory experience, introducing “The Mirror,” a symbol of confronting hidden pain.
The story behind Chosen is rooted in survival. In 2019, Cobain narrowly escaped a life-threatening shooting, an experience that forced him to relearn how to walk and fundamentally rethink his relationship with life. Years later, in 2024, a sudden heartbreak stripped him of personal and professional stability. Many would have succumbed to despair, but Cobain turned these traumas into artistic fuel, channeling his pain into a narrative of rebirth and self-realization.
Musically, Chosen thrives in its balance of darkness and melody. Cobain’s voice oscillates between vulnerability and assertiveness, riding minimalist trap percussion and moody synths. The song reflects influences from Juice WRLD and XXXTENTACION, yet there’s an individuality in the way he layers personal storytelling over cinematic production. It’s a sonic space where confession meets anthem.
The video, directed with striking visual storytelling, complements the song’s lyrical themes. Scenes of isolation, reflection, and transformation bring “The Mirror” to life, symbolizing both inner confrontation and eventual empowerment. Cobain’s attention to detail in the visuals mirrors the intricacy of his music, ensuring that the narrative resonates both aurally and visually.
Beyond the track itself, Chosen signals a pivotal moment in Cobain’s artistic journey. It’s the start of a new era—one in which emotional honesty, empowerment, and cinematic ambition converge. Cobain isn’t just telling his story; he’s inviting fans to reflect on their own struggles, creating a community through shared resilience.
Chosen is emotive yet polished, a narrative that is personal yet universal, and visuals that elevate the music, he proves that the intersection of pain and art can produce something unforgettable. Chosen is more than a song—it’s a declaration: you are chosen, never broken.
